16 Things You May Deal With After Becoming an Evansville Police Officer

The Evansville Police Department (EPD) is currently accepting applications from people interested in joining the force. And while you'll no doubt be responsible for keeping the community safe from ne'er do-gooders such as thieves, meth labs, and drunk drivers, there will certainly be times where you'll need to keep people safe from themselves.

Thanks to local Facebook page, Evansville Watch, we common folk get a chance to stay up on speed on the latest happenings in our area, from traffic accidents causing problems on our highways and byways, to the more serious offenses like the aforementioned meth labs, or convenience store robberies. But every once in awhile, the administrators of Evansville Watch like to lighten things up a bit by posting a few of the more absurd goings-on in the tri-state. The following is a list of 17 incidents I've found that regardless of the obscurity, requires police assistance. I just hope they were able to keep a straight face.
