Our officers and staff had an absolute blast challenging the kids at the Montgomery Village Boys & Girls Club to a wiffle ball game this afternoon! After the game, we also had the opportunity to join the kids for a hotdog cookout.

A pet roaming around a moving vehicle can be distracting. To travel safely this summer with your pets, put them in the back seat or cargo area with a crash-tested harness, or a sturdy, well-ventilated crate. You buckle up for safety, so make sure your pets are also secure!
