Little Wyatt Archer wants to be a policeman. He had the opportunity to see how they operate during Coffee with a Cop on Tuesday morning at McDonald’s. Wyatt and his sister Avery were given crayons and pictures to color from Ada Patrolman Penny Keller-Clark. Also pictured are mom, Nicole, and her father-in-law Bill Archer. The Ada Police Department periodically sponsors Coffee with a Cop at various restaurants to give residents time to informally talk about concerns or answer questions.
