Sept. 20 – Sept. 23, 2013

Today’s Good News
A woman recently called to commend Third Precinct Officer Matthew Cavanaugh for the professionalism he displayed while taking her report for property damage. “He was extremely helpful and made a bad situation a little better,” she said. The woman said she feels the police get a lot of bad press and she wanted the Department to know of the good work done by Officer Cavanaugh.

She also added that not only was Officer Cavanaugh nice and professional, he was good looking too! She said she could say this because she was 78 years old. Thank you Officer Cavanaugh for continuing to perform your duties in such a positive way, and for being easy on the eyes!
