🚨 PATROL UPDATE: Lt. Frosty was deployed downtown today.
He claims he is "deep undercover" using "urban camouflage."
Lieutenant... you are a bright blue elf sitting in a Christmas tree on the sidewalk. We can all see you.
A+ for effort on the surveillance, F- for stealth.

Lt. Frosty is officially on patrol! 🚔
This little officer is geared up and riding along to keep Hays safe (and check for naughty list behavior). Keeping an eye on the city from a pocket-sized perspective today. 👋
