Every herper's favorite cop

A Florida police officer saw some baby sea turtles in trouble, and decided to give them a hand. From Yahoo News:

Sarasota Officer Derek Conley was on patrol at 1 a.m. Saturday when he saw sea turtle hatchlings crawling toward the front door of the Lido Beach Resort. A passerby also told Conley that several dozen other baby turtles were walking around the hotel's parking lot. Conley, along with some resort guests, scooped up the hatchlings in a box and released them into the water. "I began collecting hatchlings from the street and stopped traffic several times to do so," wrote Conley in a report. A news release says that Conley spotted three dead turtles, and he estimates that 90-100 turtles were saved. Conley also called two area marine rescue groups.
