“There’s a video that’s been going around. We had a report of an officer that was moonlighting as a DoorDash employee while on duty. That’s not exactly accurate,” said Officer S. Clemens, public information officer for the Sioux Falls Police Department, in a press briefing. “What happened is he had stopped a car nearby that address. The driver was ultimately arrested for a crime. The officer ended up taking the food and making that delivery on his own.”
Clemens said officers delivering food is not normal, but the department has received a lot of positive responses and comments since the delivery was captured on Ring.
“The little things like this, going above and beyond helping people out, is the thing that we do,” he said. “It’s those little things that officers do that can make a difference.”
