The Proposal

The would-be groom, a resident of the local area, contacted the police department to request a special favor. He asked if they would help him propose to his girlfriend by staging a traffic stop. The police department, known for their creative approach to public outreach, agreed to play along.

The "Traffic Stop"

On a designated day, the couple was driving along a quiet road when the girlfriend was "stopped" by an officer and given a fake ticket. Unbeknownst to her, the officer had been handed stage directions by the happy groom-to-be. The officer’s lines were scripted to compliment the girlfriend’s driving skills, but also to lead up to the big moment.

The Moment of Truth

As the girlfriend received her "ticket," the officer’s words took a romantic turn. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Marry me," he said, getting down on one knee. The girlfriend was caught off guard, but overwhelmed with emotion, she said yes.

A Surprise Engagement

The proposal was filmed by a camera crew from a local news station, who had been tipped off about the plan. The surprise proposal was captured on camera, showing the emotional moment when the couple said their vows. The reaction was priceless, as the girlfriend’s tears of joy were clear for all to see.
