A call that definitely made our day! 🐥🦆
Ducklings were reported stuck in a drain pipe at Cook Street and Cummings Street. The Abingdon Police Department and Abingdon Fire Department quickly teamed up to get them safely out.
All ducklings are now safe, sound, and back where they belong!

Arrive Alive - One Text or Call Could Wreck It All
The Abingdon Police Department is proud to partner with Abingdon High School, Abingdon, Virginia Fire Department, and the Virginia State Police to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving.
We've staged a crash scene at AHS and displayed signs that send a powerful message: "One Text or Call Could Wreck It All."
We all share the road - and we all share the responsibility. Whether you're new behind the wheel or have decades of experiences, safe driving starts with staying focused!
Thank you to Abingdon Collision & Towing Inc. for supporting the cause and donating the cars for this display!
