Ask a Police Officer

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school,

I was interrupted by a little girl about six years old.

Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked,

"Are you a police officer?"

"Yes," I answered, and continued writing the report.

"My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police.
Is that right?"

"Yes, that's right," I told her.

"Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward me,

"would you please tie my shoe?"
