Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Donnie Watkins who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for February! It’s Officer Watkins’ “no nonsense” approach that really makes a difference in Sector 412. He tirelessly patrols side streets and alleys looking for all types of crimes because it realizes it’s the little things that can really make a difference. For example, last month he noticed an increase in quality of life issues in the 1600 block of West Broad Street where several individuals were drinking and causing disturbances.
He warned those who congregated in the area that they had to be on the best behavior and issued several summonses to those who continued to cause problems. His efforts resulted in a drop in service calls AND the number of people who congregate there. Good work and thank you Officer Watkins!
