There are countless stories about police kindness that show us that our men in blue are unsung heroes. This one is so special. A Woodstock police officer’s kindness to a little girl is restoring faith in humanity for many.
The heartwarming moment was shared by the Woodstock Police Department on its Facebook page from a local community group. It shows Officer Poole and a young girl playing some games.
The officer had responded to a car crash involving the girl’s mother, and while she was waiting for a tow truck to arrive, the cop kept the girl entertained.
The grateful mother shared in a post on social media, “Today I’m grateful for police officers like Officer Poole. Thank you for playing Pokémon and Bakugan with my daughter Maya,” the mother wrote.
The girl was extremely touched by the officer’s gesture and told her mother that she wanted to be a police officer when she grew up.
The mother wrote, “She couldn’t stop talking about you after we left and has since decided she will grow up to be a police officer.”
The department wrote in a post, “Thank you, Officer Poole, for always going above and beyond the call.”
