LakelandPD added 3 new photos: This is Why We Become Police Officers

Tonight a team of Lakeland Officers received a call in reference to a family stranded in the car that was submerged in about 4 feet of water in a ditch. Even though it was 12:30AM and the full strength of Hurricane Irma was about to hit Lakeland; our guys didn’t hesitate. They responded to Swindell Road in the MRAP vehicle which was able to travel in high water and withstand the intense winds.

In the car they found two adults and two small children, ages six months and ten months old. The water had reached the kids car seats. Thankfully… all were not injured and officers were able to safely get them out of the car for transport. With no injuries, they were taken to their house.

When you become a police officer you hope you make a difference in the lives of others. Tonight, there is no doubt these officers made a difference!
