CALCUTTA –If the dictionary had a photograph next to the entry for “community police officer,” no doubt Kelsey Hedrick would be smiling back from the pages.
Hedrick, now a midnight shift officer with St. Clair Township, describes himself as a “typical old school patrolman.”Most folks ouldn’t disagree with his assessment.
