Members of University Police braved temperatures in the 20s and participated in a “Polar Bear Plunge” Feb. 7 as part of a statewide fund-raiser for the Special Olympics. Jumping in Lake Saint Louis with 152 other Region 1 (St. Louis-area) law-enforcement members were (from left) dispatcher Nancy Harding, patrolman Don Moore and patrolman Ray Schmidt. Statewide law-enforcement agencies adopted the Special Olympics years ago, and this year the goal is to raise $1 million. The 155 people who jumped Feb. 7 raised about $27,000.
