March 31 – April 1, 2014

Today’s Good News
During a recent breakfast with the Department’s Faith Leaders Partnership, a citizen captured Neighborhood Watch Officer Paul Lewis in the middle of this kind act. The woman, who is blind, was dropped off by a citizen and Officer Lewis immediately went to assist her in safely crossing the street and entering the Training Academy. Though it may be a simple deed, Officer Lewis’s kindness stuck in this citizen’s mind and he wanted to let us know just how thoughtful Officer Lewis had been. Thank you, Officer Lewis, for making us proud, and thank you, citizen, for sharing this with us!
