Two officers with the Elk Grove (CA) Police Department were "caught in the act" of helping an 82-year-old man clear some overgrown shrubs and tree limbs from his property.
According to a department Facebook post , Officers Meyerdick and Freitas were clearing a call for service when they noticed that the man was "in need of a hand" and without hesitation "jumped right in and assisted the community member finish the job."
