Watch: Bradenton Police Celebrate Bucs With Fun Video Series

BRADENTON, FL — The Super Bowl is less than a week away and it seems like the entire Tampa Bay region is excited to cheer on the home team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Feb. 7, including the Bradenton Police Department.

It's an historic appearance, as the Bucs are the only NFL team to compete in the Super Bowl at their home stadium.

The department has shared its excitement by releasing a funny video series on Twitter. So far, three videos have been shared, though more are planned, said Capt. Brian Thiers.

The videos so far have starred Chief Melanie Bevan, Det. Todd Freed and Off. Shelby Ostertag.

In the first video, released Jan. 26, Freed starts out in a locker room preparing for his shift. His last piece of equipment? A Bucs helmet, of course.

When he meets his partner wearing the helmet, Ostertag asks, “Seriously?”

The second video, released Friday, picks up where the first left off. Freed is wearing his Bucs helmet in the front seat of their police vehicle.

Ostertag warns that the chief isn’t going to be happy about the new accessory to his uniform.

In true Abbott-and-Costello fashion, Freed assumes she’s talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay’s rival in the big game.

As they go back and forth, Chief Bevan approaches the vehicle and gives freed a fist bump.

“Go Bucs,” she said.

In the third video, which was posted Monday, Freed and Ostertag are about to respond to a burglary call and Freed pulls out his playbook to write out a game plan.

All videos can be viewed on the Bradenton Police Department Twitter account. Watch the first video in the series here:
