The Farmington and Bristol Police Department went head to head against the Farmington and Bristol Fire Department for a flag football game.
“It’s just a great family. All of us, we’re all a big family and we’re here to support each other and we’ll do it as long as we have to,” said Jeff Hopkins.
A moment of silence started the game and blue lights could be seen all throughout the stands.
This is the second annual flag football event at Farmington High School.
“Just a great opportunity for us to go out and give back,” said Chief Colin Ryan, Farmington Police Department.
Last year, the event was held for the family of Farmington officer James O’Donnell who was nearly killed in the line of duty.
