Kids rock out for the Berea Police Dept.

BEREA, Ky. (WTVQ)-Dressed in police uniforms, and jailer get-ups these little cops and criminals are having a blast flipping for cops.

Seven-year-old Elyanna Conner says, “It was really, really awesome.”

The dancers from “The Mission Dance Academy” in Berea say they’re dancing to send a message.

Conner says, “Because they mean a very much to the world and they’re really really good.”

Nine-year-old Jaziley Lamb says, “I’ve never performed in front of a lot of people like that, and especially people that are really important.”

In a time when the police have become the targets of attacks in places like Dallas and Baton Rogue.

“We’re very vigilant about what’s going on,” says Berea Police Chief David Gregory.

They’re still doing their jobs.

Officer Chris Neal says, “It actually makes us want to come in more and show the support for those guys down there and keep the name of policing alive.”

And officers say during these tough times, every small act of kindness counts.

Chief Gregory says “Probably everyday that we’ve had somebody bringing gift bags or gift baskets, food…”

Officer Neal says, “It definitely adds up. They came up and it’s 90 degrees outside and they’re all sweating. And they come out and put their costumes on and we greatly appreciate it.’

And the officers are sending that love right back handing out stuffed animals to the kids and giving them an inside look behind the wheel.

Twelve-year-old Samantha Williams says, “It was awesome because they were really sweet and nice and not firm and hard and stern and stuff.”

And they’re changing perceptions about law enforcement for our future generation.

Chief Gregory says, “interacting with police and not being afraid. that means a lot.”

Lamb says, “I hope they learn that you should always be grateful for the police because they do a lot for us, because they catch the bad people.”

“The Mission Dance Academy” is also inviting all officers to stop by anytime for free cold drinks and snacks from Mondays-Thursdays from 3-9:30pm.
