While on patrol downtown this week, Const. Boehler and Special Constables Woods and Weeks came across a raccoon in distress. According to the social media post, they gave the animal some water, and it seemed to be doing much better.
"Sometimes policing isn't always about crime, sometimes it means helping someone or an animal in need," Barrie Police posted on social media.
