Today’s Good News
A woman recently emailed to recognize one of our officers. "I was driving on Broad Street near VCU when I saw an unmarked car with its lights flashing in the middle of the road and my first thought was that some one had been pulled over again," she wrote. "Imagine my surprise when I saw the officer get out of his car and help an elderly gentleman using a walker across the street. Thank you, sir, for your polite actions. It was a pleasant surprise to see this simple act of kindness."
