Who has had a GOOD encounter with the police they would like to share?

Question

So many people want to bash the police. Let's turn the coin and see if anyone has meet any good officers who had integrity and truly did protect and serve.

Answer 1

My husband is a cop in the Air Force, he consistently does a good job at protecting and serving and works over 60 hours a week never getting overtime, or extra credit for it either. Does he pull people over? Yup especially those that are speeding, and could hit a kid, is he going to uphold the law to the dash and dot, yes he will, because he knows the laws and will enforce them.

Sad thing is we never talk about the good experiences either with cops or with any other service including restaurants, we only bring up the bad ones we have, thanks for asking for good encounters!

Answer 2

My ex-boyfriend and I were driving home from a party, he was speeding, drunk and swerving! When the cops pulled us over, he didn't have his drivers license nor his insurance card on him! Next thing I know there are 2 other squads pulled up too! The cop that originally pulled us over wanted to take him to jail and was being mean and rude. The other cops that came up to the car asked the same questions...where's your I.D. etc. and he told the cop, all I have is my military I.D. The cop said..Oh, well let me see that. However he has been out of the military for 2 years, they let him go and told him to let me drive the rest of the way home.....No ticket, no warning....nothing! That was such a relief!

Answer 3

I have heard many bad things. Perhaps there are may who have been in trouble with the law and they felt the actions were too harsh. Children who have been 'grounded' complain of the same injustices - but they are wrong of course. It is for their protection or perhaps even those around them. How much more important that criminals/those who would do harm to us are detained/handcuffed/subdued.

My family's personal experiences with the police have been very positive. They have always been very respectful and kind - they have always been kind to children as well. We also respect that they are the authority and we speak to them accordingling Where would we be without them, living in a world such as ours? They are our protectors.

Answer 4

Yes. Once I got lost on the bus late at night. I ended up in downtown los angeles on 6th and Main where all the crackheads reside. 4 crackheads ask me for a lighter... I was so very scared. I was all alone. lost. surrounded by the scariest people ever.

I called the info line from a payphone and she helped me get a hold of the LAPD.. within minutes... a patrol unit pulled up and one of officers walked with me some 5 blocks all along his partner in the police car followed... So I was escorted to a nicely lit bus stop and they waited with me until the bus arrived

I was safe thanks to the LAPD

Answer 5

oh yea!!! :-D Some funny ones too.
About 14 months ago - Danville IL - was driving on I74 headed to Peoria IL...low on funds, tired, trying to get home. Switched lanes and too late to swerve hit a dead deer in the lane - pulled over at the next exit and the car then died. Guy walks into the minimart where I was trying to raise help in Peoria - set me up with a room to get some sleep until help could get there...went out of his way. Gave me a ride to the place - it was only then I learned he was an off duty officer.
People too often groan and cuss and moan when seeing the lights behind 'em but when it's a situation help is needed there is NO better sight.

The funny - this has been a long time ago - in WA state I was driving south through the Bothell area on I405 - morning traffic - the tired car I was driving, driveshaft dropped...I managed to get it off the right side at an exit ramp...but with no ujoints I couldn't put it in park or get out. No cell phone. No CB. No way to call for help. I sat there for a bit and of course people don't stop. So I was trying to think of how to get assistance and out of the predicament - figured if I was annoying enough someone would call it in. lol so I started tapping out SOS on the car horn. Sure enough, one of the businesses opening up off the interchange called it in - squad car rolls up behind me and he motions me to come back...I can't. So am trying to motion back...nothing. I had no choice but to give a more direct ..errr...message and let up on the brake a bit so it rolled back an inch or so...he jumped out of the squad car and came up...blocked the wheels so I could get out (MUCH relieved!) and gave me a ride off the interstate.

Another one - different vehicle - was in IL and blew a tire - IHP officer came up and shone his lights so we could quickly get it changed in the dark and get moving again...I did write a letter of appreciation to the supervisor on that one. It's true - complaints are common but the good things are too.
Had just moved to Santa Cruz CA - was about 10 years ago - and unfamiliar with a certain area went to turn right and high centered it on a curb...part way in traffic. Yes I was stone cold sober. lol That was good for a few laughs

And a few of them I can't share here to protect the not quite so innocent! lol But seriously...I know there's a lot more. Too often it is only the bad that gets noted...there's a lot of good too.

Answer 6

me and my mate were out one saturday night. coming home in his charger and the back end spun out, cops pulled us over. he was only on his p's (im aussie, which means he just got his license), thought we would get done for reckless, but one cop got out of the car and said "thats a ****** charger! havent seen one of these since i 20!" he and my mate talked for like 30mins bout the car, then they let us go! cool huh!
