SUCCESS STORIES

Officers' reports:

“Officers dispatched to wheelchair bound subject who needed assistance. They were able to get her a hotel room but she needed a ride. Ballard Ambulance responded and transported subject. The subject was very appreciative of the officers assistance.” – Sgt. Hahn

“Called to a male who was sitting on the roadside. Officers contacted him and he said he was trying to get to the west side of WA. Had no money, no shelter and was suffering from medical issues that prohibited him from walking safely. Used the money to get him a room for the night. He was thankful and very happy.” – Ofc. Vasquez

“A student at EJHS had not attended school for several weeks. I was told he did not have the motivation to return back to school. I had previously established rapport with the student, who had said he was interested in working in law enforcement someday. I reached out to the student and encouraged him to return to school. As part of an arrangement, I told the student I would take him for a “ride along” if he came back to school. The effort was a success as the student came back to school the following day. As a man of my word, I took the student for a drive in my patrol cruiser. Along the way, we stopped by McDonald’s for lunch. The student had several career-based questions and really enjoyed the experience. The student has been attending school since the interaction.” -Ofc. Cooper

“I met the juvenile I assisted, through an administrator at her school. I learned she is a foster child with limited to no personal belongings as she has been moved from home to home in a short period of time. The juvenile is 1 of 10 children and does not get to see her biological siblings. During her time away from school she does not have personal items to do artistic activities. I utilized Blue Bridge to take the juvenile shopping to pick out some personal artistic items to help her express her creativity, and also to build/strengthen a relationship with the juvenile.” – Ofc.
