HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Huntersville police commemorated a memorable moment on social media by flexing their girl power.

In a tweet Friday evening, HPD said half of the shift was made up of women that night, which they believe to be a first-ever occasion for the department. The five officers got together for a group selfie, which the department shared online.
