Letter from a Citizen

On December 12 the following letter was received at the Flint Police Department. 

Dear Flint Police Department, 

I'm writing this letter in recognition to the off-duty officer (who drives a white Ford pick-up) that assisted me on the Belsay Rd and I-69 intersection April 7th 2014. Personal property had fallen off a trailer I was towing and the good Samaritan risked his own personal safety to aid me in this moment of calamity. This officer in my opinion took "to protect and serve" to a whole new level! I'm deeply grateful to whoever you are. 

Sincerely 
James Jaron

FPD is always on the job!
