Medford Police Officer Buys Nets For Kids' Basketball Hoops

MEDFORD (CBS) -- When Officer Hartnett of the Medford Police Department saw children playing basketball without nets on the hoops, he decided to do something about it.

Hartnett bought replacement netting for the hoops on the basketball court on Rockwell Avenue--and asked Medford Firefighters to help him and his partner, Officer Conway, hang them.

Medford Firefighters Local 1032 posted a video of Officer Hartnett's good deed Sunday. In the video, Hartnett, Conway, and members of Engine 4 Group A--who provided the ladder--can be seen replacing the nets.

"It's great to see examples of our city's public servants taking pride in their community and helping out the local kids," the group said in the video post.
