Fort Worth Police Department in Fort Worth, Texas showed off their inner nerd with a Star Wars fan film directed at new recruits. The video was originally posted on their Facebook and uploaded to YouTube.
In the short film, veteran officer "Jimmy" takes his new Wookie partner on patrol for the first time. The two pull over an elderly lady for a rolling stop and despite Jimmy telling the Wookie to just give her a warning, he ends up shaking her car out of frustration when she can't speak his language.
The mischief doesn't end there, later on in a training session the Wookie rookie gets hands-on with another officer and he pulls his arm off. Facebook users praised the video saying, "I love the things FWPD is doing with these videos. It can make a difference in the way law enforcement is looked at!! Thank you."
Another user said, "Fort Worth PD keep doing what your doing…. it looks like you guys have a sense of humor and a lil [sic] fun too!!!"
At the end of the video, a special message welcomes new rookies to the team and reminds them to be courteous, respectful and provide professional service.
