Pulled off a fun April Fools prank that seemed to amuse a lot of people (including the Chief, which is good).
Right outside of our office, which is on the lower level of the police department building and not in public view, there's a line of plaque/frames on the wall for photos of each officer of the month from the previous year as well as both officers of the year. The current officer of the month has their picture and citation letter displayed in the lobby and the photos downstairs are rotated out after a year.
So there is a total of 12 plaque/frames in a horizontal line on the hall wall with 2 frames above (officers of the year). I went on the internet and found and printed 8x10s of all sorts of famous cops from TV and movies, I have everyone from Barney Fife to McNulty from the Wire, and put their photos in the frames. It took a little while for people to noticed and then the word started getting around, we could hear people laughing and talking about it all day.
Chief really liked it, so I admitted that it was me who did it
He said leave it til Monday so everyone gets a chance to see and enjoy it.
Oh, officers of the year were Barney Fife and Barney Miller.
