One local mom was upset when she couldn't find her sons on Tuesday evening.
Then she found them playing kickball with some Baltimore County police officers.
The police department said the mother called the Dundalk precinct to say the children in the neighborhood don't like the police, because they only see them when something bad happens, and praised the officers for having a positive impact on her sons.
The department said its officers continue to work to build positive relationships with the community.
