What a nice story! One of my brother-in-laws is a police officer. Actually he's my favorite in-law, he's like an overgrown kid about some things (partly I think because he's still a bachelor), but he's one of those officers who really care about people. He's often telling us stories from work. Sadly, a lot of people are very rude and nasty to police officers. Daniel (that's his name) had once stopped a woman for speeding and was just going to let her off with a warning, but she kept being so nasty and foul-mouthed with him while he was trying to talk with her, he finally got fed up and went ahead and gave her a ticket.

It's so sad, because people should be extra thankful to the men and women of law enforcement who put their very lives on the line to make the world a safer place for us!

I think it's wonderful that you called their office to compliment that officer. I know something like that would really make Daniel's day.
