Today’s Good News

A man recently wrote to commend Third Precinct Officer William McAuliffe for his stellar service. “We had a house fire beside our home, called 911, and I truly believe we would have lost our home if not for the prompt response by Officer McAuliffe to the scene. The fire was on the edge of becoming a major blaze, and because he arrived when he did, before the fire trucks, Officer McAuliffe truly saved the day,” the man wrote.



“His professionalism was beyond reproach, and he stayed until the fire department gave us the all clear. I truly hope this message ends up in front of the correct person so Officer McAuliffe's actions are seen and recognized by the rest of the department. I am truly thankful for his presence. Many thanks to one and all!”
