Thank you: Waxahachie, Texas PD

I was driving back from the Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas Saturday when I spied a WPD cruiser stopped along I35 north.

It seems a car chock full of ladies had blown its tire and the middle-aged officer was helping them change it.

Now, I know that changing tires is not a police officer's job, but its nice to know that Waxahachie has at least one officer who will stop and help a gal in need. If this officer had not stopped, I expect someone else would have stopped to render aid (like myself, if WPD had not been all over the situation).

(My wife tells me that, growing up in a small Texas town, she never spent more than a couple minutes on the side of the road with a diabled vehicle before some gentleman would stop & render assistance.)

Oh, why am I thanking WPD? Well, that could have been MY wife out there on the side of the interstate, dontcha know...

Good on them.

And I'll bet if the ladies are locals he has a standing invitation for coffee and homemade pie, hunting rights on the family farm and an introduction or 2 to some nice "widder" women friends.

I was looking for the Chiefs name, but the PD website is down for a website redesign.

Sometimes, it makes an officers day to be singled out for a good deed at roll call!

I second that MissleCop. Too often patrol officers only hear complaints. The occasional compliment is rare and welcomed.
