On Wednesday April 9, City of Grants Police Department joined forces with members of the City of Grants Fire and Rescue, the Village of Milan Police Department, and the City of Grants Council to participate in a Donkey Basketball event. Led by the ever-suave Lieutenant Joe "El Mariachi" Galindo, Team Public Safety battled Team Community Members; however, Team Public Safety came up short and lost the game 8 to 5. The City of Grants Police Department would like to thank the Grants High School and the Grants High School FFA program for inviting us to take part in the event.

The event drew laughter, cheers, and a healthy dose of hoofed chaos as local officials and community members squared off in a game where the donkeys stole the show—and occasionally the ball.
