XII. “In the Mailbox” 2013 Annual Report · Police Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota 23 The two officers were so compassionate, and understanding. They were so patient and kind to my husband and I. He was so professional and was truly our angel. I felt like they were family as they were so honorable, and so caring, yet so professional and so helpful. They went above and beyond what we could of ever hoped for under such horrific circumstances. We feel blessed (which may sound strange), but in the worst time of our lives, we were blessed to have those two men at our door to be with us and support us in our long night of waiting and wondering as the events unfold. We feel so blessed to live in a community that people really do care, and the police officers have helped us through this horrific nightmare with their kindness, caring, and help. I appreciated their friendly, but professional demeanor and help. It’s difficult and emotional to wait not knowing the fate of one’s home and “stuff.” I am very grateful to have public servants such as you and your colleagues keeping the city safe and secure. It was just another example of the great measures your officers take to get to know the residents and to involve themselves in the community. I appreciate the police stepping up and teaching the boys a serious lesson. While we have told them the dangers of stupidity of such actions, I believe the actions of your officers may have made them realize it isn’t just over protective parents warning them not to have fun. I am also aware that other officers may have just sent them home or found a reason to take further action. I believe your officers’ actions were severe enough to teach them a lesson but also kind and understanding. Thank you for taking care of our son. Your officers have helped us before and we have always been impressed with their skill and professionalism.
