Minneapolis residents are buzzing with a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a member of their local law enforcement, and no, it’s not just any officer—it’s Officer Rucker and his four-legged partner, K9 Hendrix. The Police Department is offering a little something extra for those with a keen eye and a quick camera: a chance to win a T-shirt and a $20 gift card, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.

An engaging initiative hosted by the Minneapolis Police Department encouraged locals to "Locate Officer Rucker & K9 Hendrix and take a selfie with them" for the chance to win these prizes. Those that hoping to snag the prize should be quick but patient—snap the photo when the team is not in action.

As straightforward as it sounds, there’s a catch. If participants see Officer Rucker and his K9 companion "actively engaged in police activity," they're advised to hold off until the work is done. The lucky winner, along with their potentially viral selfie, will be chosen on April 5, as per the Minneapolis Police Department.
