🚔 Policing in the Adirondacks... You Never Know What's Next. 🦅

Proof that policing in the Adirondacks can be different.

Today Officer Sweeney found himself rescuing a juvenile red-tailed hawk that had become lodged in the grille of a vehicle after being struck on the highway.

Fortunately, after carefully freeing the hawk, it took a few moments to regroup, spread its wings, and flew off on its own.

We're hoping our feathered passenger makes a full and speedy recovery—and maybe chooses a little more altitude next time.

Just another day in police work... because "bird extraction specialist" wasn't in the job description. Kudos to Officer Sweeney (now accepting the nickname "Hawk"). 🦅
