“There are no routine service calls in policing. Last Friday, “Clyde the Ostrich” went on an unsupervised walk through his neighborhood. Luckily, Sgt. Davis and D Platoon officers located him and safely escorted him home,” the department wrote. They also urged people to share funny incidents using the hashtag #SCCPDCommunity.

“Bravery at its finest! Good job, officers!” wrote a Facebook user. “He does not look like he regretted a single moment of his adventure. LOL. So thankful he was returned to his family,” shared another. “Clyde looks like he’s pretty proud of himself,” said a third.
