'Best Part Of The Job': Deputies Go Sledding With Kids On Snow Day

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) -- When two Arapahoe County deputies found a couple kids out hanging out behind Falcon Creek Middle School in the middle of a Wednesday, they had just one question.

"Where's all the sweet jumps at?" Deputy Jordan Greeson asks the boys. "That's what you need."

"Are you guys gonna sled?" one boy asks.

"Oh I think so!" Greeson answers.

"We don't get many opportunities to get out there with the kids but when we do, we'll go get wet and snowy," Greeson said.
