MCHENRY, IL — Officers at a local police department showed they don’t take themselves too seriously when they shared a video this past week of a sneaky squirrel that snuck into the vestibule right outside the department’s lobby. The viral video shows two officers hilariously attempting to get the brave squirrel out of the McHenry Police Department. What follows is two officers in uniform dodging the animal, some shrieks and running away by the dispatcher who was shooting the video and “tactical” maneuvers used by the officers to try and coax the animal out.
The McHenry Police Department wrote in a Facebook post shared on New Year’s Day that the video shows how officers were “upping their training game” in 2019.

“This video is a test of our officer’s ability to handle disorderly subjects who come in to the police department,” according to the Facebook post. “If you can handle a squirrel, you can handle, well, we don’t know, that’s why we’re training!”
The squirrel did eventually make its way out of the police department just fine and was not injured, police said.
“Our officers on the other hand, they are seeking counseling.”
“I have many squirrels around my home, if you’d like to set up a training schedule,” one person wrote in the comments section.
Another asked, “Couldn’t it be charged with unlawful entry as well?”
The McHenry Police Department responded: “Currently a warrant out for him. ‘Uncatchable!'”
Others thanked officers for their sense of humor.
“Thank you for making a widow who was having a hard day laugh so hard and giving her a good chuckle,” one woman wrote.
