You know how as a parent when we catch our children doing something wrong and we always fuss at them about it. Yet when we see them doing something right, something we expect them to do, we rarely tell them they are doing a good job.
Well today I was getting onto 465 South from 86th street, there are double on ramp lanes and our's came to a screeching halt. Up ahead was a Marion County Deputy's car with a small older SUV pulled off the road in front of it. An off duty Marion County Office in civilian clothes, had stopped to help this lady who's whole wheel had come off. I found this encouraging since I had recent car troubles 60 miles from home. Knowing that LEO's still stop to help stranded motorist and check on them eases my mind, because 6 weeks ago I could have been that stranded motorist.
This may seem like a simple thing for LEO's to do and it's probably part of their job discription, but I know how it make me feel when my boss thanks me for helping him with a certain task, which is well within my job duties. Being recognized for doing a good job or even just being recognized because you did your job correctly can go along way in boosting moral.
Well done Marion County Off Duty Officer, whoevery you were.
