For the past several years, Walpole Police officer Jackie Hazeldine has organized a very popular charity event at the annual Walpole Day festivities to help raise money for local programs.

This past weekend, the "Dunk-A-Cop" event returned to the daylong event and was again a huge success, raising money for the local "radKIDS" program.

For a small donation, participants threw balls at the bull's-eye of a target, sending one of their very own (fully uniformed) Walpole Police officers into the water. The event has been a great opportunity for officers to interact with kids while raising money for a worthy program over the years and last weekend was no different.

Walpole Police Sgt. Chris Mackenzie spent a little time in the hot seat that day, and is pictured above joking around with a toy gun. Unfortunately, the joke didn't last very long and Sgt. Mackenzie was sent to the bottom of the tank. A big thanks to officer Hazeldine for organizing the event, Sgt. Mackenzie and all the other officers that volunteered to get dunked.
