Local authorities are all for the latest gaming craze, Pokemon Go.

Officer Mike Bennett with Clinton PD says Pokemon Go is a great thing. It's getting kids and families out spending time outside and together.

While Officer Bennett appreciates the goals of Pokemon Go and the impacts it's having on people, he hopes those out playing will be mindful of where they are going while they are playing.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers enjoys that the game is bringing people and families together and feels it allows youth a happy-medium of time on their electronics and time outside.
