Meet CPR PoPo
The most popular police officer in Oklahoma isn’t the most talkative. In fact, he’s the least. The kids love him, and the small town of Ada keeps their eyes on him.
Officer Plastic Popo, is actually a CPR mannequin. He sits in a car, parked near areas where drivers routinely speed, and his presence keeps people in-line.
This CPR mannequin even has his own Facebook page, Plastic Popo, where the townsfolk give updates on his whereabouts.
