Today’s Good News
A family member of a man who died in a car accident earlier this year recently wrote to commend Crash and Reconstruction Team Officer Dave Edwards for his work and his kindness. “I wanted to let you know that Officer Edwards was and has been very supportive to me and my family during this difficult time. From the beginning, he has been there to answer any questions we had regarding the accident, explaining and providing any information that he could and keeping us well informed,” the woman wrote.

“Being compassionate, understanding and supportive has been much appreciated as me and my family try to comprehend what has happened and try to move on with our lives. For him to go above and beyond and be available for me has meant a great deal. Thank you.”
