The McHenry Police Department in Illinois posted a video on Facebook showing officers attempting to chase a squirrel out of the foyer of their station without letting it into the reception area. At one point an officer can be seen jumping up onto a chair to avoid the animal. The department also noted the squirrel was able to leave the building without injury.
In 2019 we're upping our training game. This video is a test of our officer's ability to handle disorderly subjects who come in to the police department. We were inspired by Rocky chasing a chicken, because 'if you can catch a chicken, you can catch greased lightning!' – right?."If you can handle a squirrel, you can handle, well, we don't know, that's why we're training!"**Note, Mr. Squirrel made it out just fine and was not injured. Our officers on the other hand, they are seeking counseling.**
