The first jumper enters the water at the Polar Plunge

Local law enforcement officers took a chilly dip for a cause during SUNY Broome’s fifth annual Polar Plunge, held Feb. 22.

In addition to law enforcement, SUNY Broome student Andrew Kinner and Criminal Justice faculty member Leigh Morrissey took a dip in the ice-cold pool of water, as snowflakes fell all around. The longer participants stayed in, the more money they raised for the Wes Warren Memorial Scholarship Fund, which aids students majoring in criminal justice.

And then there were three in the water at the Polar Plunge!

Hospitality Programs students did a wonderful job running the event!

Participants agree: That water is c-c-c-cold
