- How to report a crime: Dial 911, but if you're feeling fancy, you can also report it online.
- How to become a police officer: Head over to the MNPD website and see if you have what it takes to join their crew.
- How to thank a police officer: A simple "thanks, y'all" goes a long way. Bonus points for offering a cup of sweet tea.
- How to tell the difference between a cop and a particularly enthusiastic tourist? It's all in the walk. Cops walk with purpose, tourists meander like they're lost in a maze of hot chicken stands.
