Every single day, police officers go out of their way to serve the community.

Of course, they do their jobs — pulling over speeding drivers, responding to crimes, and making sure people in the area feel safe — but they also go above and beyond in certain situations.


Just think, for example, about the police officers who had to go on a hunt for the jogger who kept pooping in people’s front yards (he definitely didn’t have that in his job description).

Recently, a police officer in Montebello, California, got a call about a difficult customer at a bank. When he responded to the bank, he was surprised to find that the “disturbance” was an upset, elderly man.

The man’s identification had expired, so the bank couldn’t access his account.


When they told the elderly man, he got upset, and the bank managers called the police.

Luckily, the officer who responded had a huge heart and knew exactly what to do.
