A Florida police officer took on a gator, all part of being a well-rounded officer according to the department.
A West Palm Beach Police Department officer recently went toe-to-toe with an alligator, and local law enforcement said it was just another day on patrol, until it isn’t.
“From neighborhood calls to going toe-to-toe with an alligator, our officers never quite know what they’ll show up to next,” the West Palm Beach Police Department posted. “Well-rounded policing means being ready for anything, even when it has scales and a serious attitude.”
The gator incident was recorded on video, and the officer was able to grab the mouth of the animal. Eventually, another officer helped secure the snout with tape.
