Today’s Good News
A woman recently emailed to thank Third Precinct Officer Jay Riley for the kind way he handled a traffic accident where the young driver, who had just received a learner’s permit, had accidentally, and quite suddenly, struck a parked car. Though the experience was upsetting for everyone involved, the woman wrote that Officer Riley “was really wonderful in responding to all of us, especially my very-shaken and near-hysterical teen.” The woman continued: “Officer Riley was kind, respectful, and empathetic.
“I know you all have a lot going on in the City, and I felt bad about even calling you for such a minor incident. But please know how much my child and I appreciate the way I which Officer Riley responded. I hope he is somehow recognized for it!”
