Success Story #1
"I came in contact with a military veteran approximately 80 years old, who was seeking help due to the heat in his apartment not working. The male had made a complaint to the property management and had a work order to be created for the repair of the heat in his apartment unit, though it had not been completed before the weekend. The male had attempted to call the afterhours number for the property and called the Community Action Center, who oversees the apartments he lives in. The male told me he was cold, and did not have the funds to purchase a heater while he waited for the property management to fix his. The male told he had metal plates in his leg due to being in the military and was struggling in the cold. At the time of contact with the male, it was approximately 40 degrees outside with a cold breeze. The male had two more days until it was business hours again to attempt to reach management about the heat again. I attempted to call them myself and was unable to speak with anyone. I then decided to purchase the male a space heater for his apartment until his heating could be fixed. The male was surprised when I arrived with a heater in hand but immediately thanked me for getting one. It was not his fault the management did not fix the heater before ending their workweek, and it felt good to help someone make it through the weekend without being cold." - Officer A. St. Andre
Success Story #2
"I was dispatched to a suicidal person call where a mother of 4 was dealing with alcoholism issues and was unable to care for the children. The children were ages 6 (autistic), 2, and two 2 month old twins. Unfortunately I had to remove the children from the home due to the conditions. It was unclear when the last time the children had food to eat so I bought two McDonalds happy meals for the two older kids." - Officer Westerman
Success Story #3
"I was a part of a sexual assault investigation of a 15-year-old female, who the offenders were members of her family. The female would journal her assault and use them to process her emotions. It became apparent during the investigation she was very attached to her journals and what they represented for her. I knew there was a possibility of needing to take the journals as evidence, though I did not want to hinder her trust in me doing so. Due to this, I chose to purchase her additional journals and one with a key lock and pencils/pens. I provided them to her and she was appreciative of them. Initially in the investigation she was hesitant in allowing me to view or take her journal. To keep trust I did not take them from her. Later in the investigation, approximately one week later, I not only saw she had begun to use her new journals, but allowed me to view her notebook with the evidentiary passages inside. She allowed me to keep some of the pages and take photos of them. I believe me providing the journals initially helped build trust and she knew we were there to help. This helped her be empowered as she continues to go through this tough process. I am grateful for this as a resource to provide this teen an avenue in healing. " -Ofc. A. St. Andre
