A big thank you and shout-out to the New Westminster Police Department.
On Sixth Avenue, on Thursday, May 10 at approximately 4 p.m., I literally chased down two police officers driving down my street.
My elderly father had slid off his walker in his garage and had been on the cement for an hour. I was not able to lift him by myself, and my usual support system was not available. Being that I am a nurse, I had assessed my father and felt that a 911 call at that time was not warranted.
Without hesitation, these two very kind police officers turned their car around and followed me back to the home of my father. They had him back up on his feet within minutes. I cannot say enough about how compassionate, kind and empathetic these two officers were with both my father and myself.
Unfortunately, in the moment, I did not get their names. Thank you so much; this daughter is forever grateful for their assistance.
