Law Enforcement Officers Caught Being Fun, Inspirational and Even Funny

Whether it is riding tricycles with children, snapping a selfie or doing things above and beyond the call of duty, law enforcement officials are people too. So often we hear or see derogatory names referring to men and women who put their life on the line running toward dangerous situations to protect the community that they serve.

We hear stereotypical donut jokes (as if the rest of the world does not love a good donut), or even some who dislike those who protect and serve.

Of course, like all other humans and even animals not everyone is perfect, uniform or not. If you look around you might just catch a glance of a police officer being more than just an officer but being charming, funny or inspiring.

Here are a few moments recently captured and shared by their respective departments.
