Well Done!

Compliments from the community and the people we serve are one of the highest forms of praise our officers can get. Knowing they made a difference in someone's life is why so many officers wear the badge.

Sgt. McCall was recently singled out by a man he had a number of interactions with, who is now in recovery.

If you have a minute, please read Chris P.'s story:

Chris P. wrote - "Today's theme most definitely will go down as a day of forgiveness and gratitude on so many levels. I finally got the opportunity to make an amends to a sergeant of the Dayton P. D. and was able to give him the antique metal badge I bought the other day. He is a really good guy. I wanted to try and get to know him as a person and not just a cop. But my street mindset wouldn't allow that.

All my life I have disliked cops you would never find me walking up and talking to one by choice. I am no longer that guy and today I got to see that they are people just like all of us. I presented him with the gift and he was shocked he literally said "nobody has ever given me something this nice before" tears welled up in his eyes and then mine. I have even invited him to my testimony next month.

He has slowly seen the change in me I pulled up to him the other day and he was like your driving I thought you was just an insider the whole time he is typing my info on his computer in the car lmao. I just laughed and said not even an unpaid ticket today sir. To have him tell me I inspire him today that he loves a good success story that is what this is all about.

The peace that came over me tonight was so amazing the tension eased and I felt accomplished. God bless everyone. And thank you to everyone that has helped me get thru these times I have some pretty good people in my life today. Thank you as well Sergeant McCall for the opportunity to let go."

Well Done Sgt. McCall & Best Wishes Chris on your continued recovery!
