CHELSEA, MA -- A Chelsea Police Officer takes the extra mile to help a man in need by giving a panhandler a ride to an employment agency.

The panhandler named Corey was begging for money from motorists in the middle of Revere Beach Parkway, but what he got from traffic enforcement officer Tim Broman is more than spare change.

“Officer Broman decided to take it upon himself to not only engage the individual have a conversation with him and talk to him about possibly in getting a job,” said Bryan Kyes, Chelsea Chief of Police.
