How We Roll

I was just pulling into the station when I heard the call go out. A child was trapped under a car. This type of call flicks a switch. 

Within a few minutes Community Service Officer Ernie Bucinskas, Motor Officer Mike Daly and Patrol Officer Bruce Sonnenblick, with the help of a couple of civilians, are lifting a car off of the victim. A citizen pulls the injured child to safety.

You can find the story and video on our site. The rescue may not be extraordinary to some. What I find inspiring is that in these times, we still have extraordinary people who run toward, not away from any challenge.

You can’t train or coach commitment to duty. It’s wired into the DNA of our first responders, and some of our citizens, too. It’s who we are. It’s how we roll.
