A hot day can turn a little cooler with a cup of lemonade.

Oliver wants to be a cop when he grows up so he gets really excited when police officers stop by. Friday's special visit was an officer from Brewer Police Department.

"We had him put on a sign that police drink free just to show our support for them," says Adam Jones, Oliver's dad.

"Cops are cool! What do they do? Fight bad guys!" said Oliver.

"You know we recognize that there can be bad police and good police, just like there is bad people and good people, but as a whole these men and women are going in and sacrificing, putting themselves on the line to serve and protect," said Adam Jones.
