To Protect and to Serve

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, the police officer was interrupted by a little girl. She asked if he was a policeman, and he nodded while continuing with his report. She then explained how her mother told her that if she ever needed help she should ask a policeman. She asked, “Is that right?” The officer replied, “Yes, that’s right.” The kindergartener then pointed at her shoe and tenderly asked, “Would you please tie my shoe?”
