NJ police department offered blizzard ‘cuddles’

To caress and serve.

A New Jersey police department has offered “cuddles” to local residents who might need some heat during the winter storm.

The Matawan Police Department posted an image of its officers on Facebook Thursday along with a caption that offered some special protection.

“Our men and woman keeping our town safe during what we hope to be the first and only blizzard of 2018,” the post read.

“Some of our officer are specially trained “cuddlers”, who can stop by if your heat happens to go out.”

The department did not respond to a request for comment by The Post.

They eventually took the image down, followed up by an explanation and apology.

“We tried to have some fun. Some folks don’t like that. Sorry to all the rest,” the department posted at 5:30 p.m.
