ICYMI: we rolled out our brand new PCSO ice cream truck today (funded by Polk Sheriff’s Charities) and it was a huge success! We’ll be bringing cool treats all across Polk County this summer, so stay tuned - you never know where we’ll scoop up next 👀🍦
@daniel_myrick03 @LEGO_Group We actually posted a Lego mock up almost a year ago...
Who are we to tell a toy company what kind of toys they should be making?
So we’ll just drop these photos here and say that the Little People Polk County Sheriff’s Office playset would be a pretty sweet toy.
