(InsideEdition<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0A Maine police officer went above the call of duty when he\u00a0lent a local business his snow shoveling\u00a0services\u00a0during a snowstorm.<\/p>\n

Officer Ben Murtiff of the Augusta Police Department was photographed shoveling the sidewalk in front of a boutique Tuesday morning after a winter storm hit the area on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Store owner Betsy Curtis, 31, said they got around 10 inches of snow.<\/div>\n

\u201cI came into work on Tuesday,\u201d she told InsideEdition.com.\u00a0\u201cI literally take two shovels and all of a sudden a police officer shows up [\u2026] and he\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, give me the shovel. I\u2019m going to shovel for you.'\u201d<\/p>\n

Curtis, who has owned\u00a0Betsy\u2019s\u00a0for the last three years, said she wanted to share the photos on Facebook to demonstrate the kindness of her local police department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re constantly coming in and making sure our businesses are doing okay, and our streets are safe for us and really trying to lend a hand in any way they can help us,\u201d Curtis said.<\/p>\n
