"It was wonderful to see Police Department staff, Special Olympics Athletes, and Yard House staff all working together for a good cause," Jennifer Manzella, police spokeswoman, said. "The Yard House clientele had a blast, too, and were wonderfully kind and generous."Several members of NBPD family ranging from the Chief to several police volunteers, canine officers, a motor officer and a SWAT officer also attended the event and mingled with community members.
