Five officers were captured on video playing a pick up game against five teenagers during the African American Achievers Festival downtown.


There was no word on the outcome of the game.


Warren Police Chief Eric Merkel offered a tounge-in-cheek reaction to the video.

He tells 21 News that his guys didn't look so good on the court and is looking to require them to take some in service training.

Merkel says the officers did not violate any policies by playing.

A 21 News viewer shared a video of the game to our WFMJ facebook page.
