Since so many on here love to point out all the bad cops and their doings to promote their biases, I decided to go ahead and start a thread sharing stories about the good things they do.


Police officer John Lambert acted quickly and pushed Mariusz Trzeciak out of harm's way when an out-of-control car came sliding towards them on the side of an icy highway. A dash-cam in Lambert's car caught the entire incident on tape. Lambert is still in the hospital recovering and is expected to be back in good health after significant physical therapy.

Off-duty Bridgeton cop saves choking boy at Hammonton carnival
BRIDGETON — A city police officer is being hailed as a hero after he reportedly saved an infant boy at a popular carnival in Hammonton late Thursday.

Bridgeton Police Ptl. William Deininger was instrumental in helping dislodge the boy’s tongue from his throat as the infant apparently was having a seizure, according to authorities.

“He saw the whole thing happening and was pretty heavily involved in the rescue,” Hammonton Police Chief Frank Ingemi said this morning.

Ingemi did not get Deininger’s name Thursday night — as the off-duty Bridgeton police officer played his part in saving the boy, then disappeared into the crowd at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Festival — but indicated he had heard the unidentified rescuer was an off-duty police officer.

Deininger, 25, was walking through the festival grounds, located around St. Mary of Mount Carmel Church, formerly known as St. Joseph, with friends when he saw a couple behaving in a frantic manner at around 11:30 p.m.

“You could just tell that something was wrong,” Deininger recalled, noting the boy’s arms were limp.

The Bridgeton police officer identified himself as such, took the boy from his father's arms and placed him down on a table. He heard the boy, whose face was blue, “gurgling,” so he tilted his head back, helping to dislodge his tongue from his throat.

“He just instantly came back,” Deininger said. “The color came back in his face and he started moving around.”

Bridgeton Police Chief Mark Ott was not surprised to learn of Deininger’s heroics this morning.

“In the short time he’s been here with us, he’s become a valuable member of our department,” Ott said, noting Deininger has been awarded two departmental medals and two letters of commendation since July 2008.

Deininger became a full-time Bridgeton police officer in February 2009, after having served as a part-time officer here for roughly two years.

“It just goes to show you a police officer is interested in preserving life 24 hours a day,” Ott said of his officer’s off-duty save.

Deininger said he felt “pretty good” about what he had done.

Attempts to reach the boy’s family through Hammonton Rescue Squad were unsuccessful this afternoon.

Authorities were not releasing the boy’s name.

A good thread Nick, and tho you and I have not always seen eye to eye on some things regarding an admittedly narrow aspect of law enforcement, I do believe a very very very large % of policemen are highly dedicated to their profession and to the service within their communities, counties, and states.

Nick I wouldn't worry about it too much. We all know that the vast majority of police are good. It's the medias fault that they only run sensational stories about bad cops. Those are the stories the media thinks the people want to hear about.

A couple years ago, this happened a few blocks from my house. A woman was stalked by another gentleman who broke into her house and started randomly shooting. The mother barricaded herself and children in the bedroom but the suspect just opened fire through the walls and basically got a lucky hit.

quote As a gunman stormed the bedroom where she had barricaded herself in a desperate bid for survival Tuesday, a young San Mateo mother passed her two small children out the window to SWAT officers. Moments after saving their lives, 24-year-old Loan Kim Nguyen was mortally wounded as the intruder and police exchanged gunfire. When officers entered the home on Hobart Avenue, they found the man dead. The tragedy shook the neighborhood of century-old homes near the heart of the Peninsula city.

The point of this story is that the Swat member was a friend of mine who works for the San Mateo PD and stood on the roof of the swat vehicle to save the children while all of the gunfire was happening. He saved both children.

This doesnt go to good or bad. Court TV just showed a bunch of shows for the holiday. In one, police were called and about 1/2 dozen cruisers showed up. A guy is standing shirtless in the doorway of his house with a semi auto handgun and starts blasting away at the police. He even reloaded clips 2 times while still standing there. All the police were returning fire the whole time from prob 30 yards. You could see the bullets hitting the wall. It reminded me of Sergant Nelson on Police Squad. No police were hit, and the guy was only slightly wounded at the end. I thought they went to firing range to qualify. They must have fired off 200+ shots with only result some flesh wounds. If it wasnt so serious, youd have to laugh.

Good cop stories? You decide. The last two times I was stopped:

The officers were polite

The officers were professional

The officers had me on my way in a timely manner

The officers still ticketed my dumb butt 'cause I WAS doing something wrong. Only person I could be mad at was ME!

If you've gotta have an unpleasant interaction with the cops, I hope it's like mine was.

I've posted this before, but I fixed two-way radios for the second largest county in GA for 10 years.
I met most of the officers at one time or another, including the ones who ran and worked communications at HQ.
Just like any other cross section of society, most of them were just regular folks, who wanted to go home to their families at the end of the day.
Some of them were standouts. The ones you look up to.
Some of them (a small minority) were posterior orifices. One or two had, IMHO, no business having a badge and a gun.

Since I started driving, I have had exactly two "stops" that I felt the cop was out of line. (I'm almost 54 now.)

The first was when I was 17 or 18, and the cop was a rookie on a power trip. (Strange that several people I knew got pulled over because "their car fit the description of one being used to do burglaries".) I think he washed out. Whatever. I'm not surprised.

The second was 14 years ago. I was stopped for speeding (which I was) on I-20, at 2:30 AM on Christmas Eve morning.
The officer came up to my truck with an attitude, and his hand on his gun. Was rather rude to my wife and me. Pissed me off.
BUT... I was driving a lowered S10 with tinted windows. My inside light was burned out, and I had Dekalb county plates.
At the time, Dekalb County had the most rapidly growing gang banger population in the state. I'm sure the LAST thing he expected to see was a 40 year old, graying, pale complected guy and his wife. So, I can't be too mad.

My Grandfather was a good police officer. He passed (in the line of duty) before I was born (1981), but I have never heard a bad thing about him. I am also named after him. There is also a Park named in his honor where he passed in the line of duty.

http://www.sunjournal.com/node/691963

OK i have few but i'll leave my favorite first as it is kinda long... A deputy sheriff that i'm friends with and have seen in action. She stopped a few kids right in front of where i was working and i heard the entire thing. She stopped them for doing 25 in a 55... yeah... i would to.

So, she approached the car with 4 kids in it and simply asked...
Sheriff: "Do you know why i pulled you over?"
Driver: "ummmm... i was speeding officer, i'm sorry"
Sheriff: "maybe if your a snail. Are you a snail?" the other kids in the car started chuckling.
Driver: "Ok, truthfully, I have no idea why you pulled me over. If i may ask ma'am why did you pull me over?"
Sheriff: "You were doing 25 in a 55"
Driver: "Aw man.... i was looking at the rpm gauge, **** !"

At this time she got the license and reg from the kid and told him to sit tight. About 1/2 hour later she goes back to the car.

Sheriff: "Have you been using any drugs or alcohol tonight?"
Driver: "Ma'am i don't want to lie to you in any way and make your job any more difficult so... Um... yeah. I'm coming down from being high on pot"
Sheriff: "do you mind if i search you car?"
Driver: "why bother? here's what we have left, I'm screwed aren't I?"
Sheriff: "All of you please step out of the car"

all of them step out scared witless.
(she searched them and the car, found nothing else)

Sheriff: "do you have a cell phone?"
Driver: "Yeah"
Sheriff: "Call your parents to come get you, your friends can do the same. The car stays here till the morning."
Kids start making calls... shortly after parents start showing up...
Sheriff to Drivers parent: "Your child was driving while high, would you prefer i take them in or do you want to take them? Sorry, but the car stays till tomorrow or it can be impounded tonight, your call."
Driver's parent: "Oh no... i'll take him home. Don't worry ma'am you will NOT see his driving again for quite some time. I will send a tow truck tomorrow, and thank you soo much"
Sheriff: "he's just lucky he was honest with me when i asked him questions. He will not get a second chance from me."

The other parents she just informed them their child was in the car with a person who was slightly impaired and that person has been taken care of. Also asked if they wanted to press charges to the driver, but also charges will be pressed on their child for public intoxication. The other parents took their kids and didn't press charges. She saw me watching and came over to say hi. I asked her wth? if that were me i would be screwed. She said "If your honest and forthcoming with any cop they are more likely to let you go or be as easy as possible on the charges"

This has worked for me in the past. No bs, straight forward truth is strangely workable with them. (The decent ones anyway)

I've met all sides of the spectrum.

Letting a kid off for DUI? I don't see how that is a good call. I'm all for cops using judgement instead of instant tickets for every stupid thing, but he was driving stoned, and it was OBVIOUSLY having a huge impact on his ability to drive. Its not like he had a headlight out or didn't signal to change lanes on an empty highway or was doing 5 over. He was driving stoned. Thats pretty big.

I have always been treated fairly, even when I deserved it.

Mid August the wife and I are on the interstate on a weekend trip. I am driving at 72 mph and being passed constantly. A car the same color as mine , same size is passing me as we come past a connector/cross drive in which sits a State trooper. I'm thinking "that guy could be in trouble." Sure enough, the trooper pulls out after we go by and speeds up. Imagine my surprise when he comes up behind ME and flips on his lights! WTH? I signal and pull over as far as I can, the officer comes up to the window and says "Know why I stopped you?" I reply "No, I really don't." He says " You were going pretty fast weren't you?" I say " Not nearly as fast as the one guy who was passing me in the left lane." (hoping he had his dash cam working). Officer actually put his hand over his brow to sheild the sun from his eyes and gazed up ahead for a few seconds. He didn't say it but I could see he was actually thinking "hmmmm." He asks "May I see your driver license?" I give it to him and he says "I'll be back in a few." Goes back to his cruiser for a good while, finally comes back with license and says "Have a good trip Sir". Probably was able to verify by the occupant number on his dash cam that he had actually stopped the wrong car. Everybody makes goof now and then, glad he was a good professional officer.

They've always been friendly as they write me a ticket.

Thanks Mary Jane. I really appreciate that. To be honest, I dont think you and I are all that different on our views. In fact, I think we just miss each other's points online at times.

[sarcasim] PIGS ! ! ! They don't do anything but make it hard on the workin' man. Most don't deserve to wear a badge. They're all communist workin' for "The Man". All they do is harrass drivers. They're never around when ya need'em, but always in high numbers when one of their own gets hurt. [sarcasim off]

Just thought I'd get that out there for you, Nick. Some one would've eventually come in here and posted something to the likes.

They've got a tough job. They get spit on, cursed at, hit/kicked, and threatened.........and that's on a good day. They deal with alot of scum in society. My gosh, give'em some credit and respect. I've been on ride alongs and have cops in my family. Some really disturbing stories from many have been told.

I've delt with more a-hole, power hungry bosses from all of my jobs then what attitudes I've delt with when it comes to cops. I've had on and off run in's with cops since I was 17.

I knew the kid... he didn't drive again till he moved out 3 years later. Parents refused to let him take their cars and sold his. The kid quit smokin too.

It's kind of a small town and she knew some of the parents and one of the kids. As well as this being almost 12 years ago. Much different then. eh... i though it was kinda cool of her to let the parents discipline the kids rather then jail em for possession and ruin the rest of their lives. In NY a misdemeanor or felony = no job but mc donalds for the remainder of the time your in this state no matter what degree you get.

New Providence police save four lives in 2010
NEW PROVIDENCE —Ask any police officer what the most rewarding aspect of the job is and you’ll most likely receive a response of “saving lives”.
During 2010, the combined efforts of nine borough police department members, an officer from Kenilworth and a local resident resulted in the saving of four lives.
For their efforts in quick response and employing special skills, the individuals were recognized in a recent ceremony and presented with the prestigious Life Saving Award by Mayor J. Brooke Hern and Police Chief Anthony Buccelli.
On a late night in May, Police Dispatcher Jessica Thedinga received an emergency call from a resident seeking aid for a 19 year-old male who was lifeless.
Thedinga immediately alerted patrol cars to the emergency but kept the homeowner, Lisa Bucher, on the line to provide detailed instructions on providing CPR.
Officers arriving at the scene found Ms. Bucher administering chest compressions and ventilations. Patrolman Michael Hand took over the compressions while Sgt. Justine Kennedy attached the automated external defibrillator to administer a shock. Assisting in the procedure, Patrolman Bryce Garrison confirmed the young man’s pulse had returned.
Two days later, the male’s cardiologist visited Police Headquarters to inform officers that his patient was doing well but if the shock had been administered a minute later, the patient may not have survived.
The special skills and training that officers possess can come in handy no matter where the location. While off-duty and on a trip to Pennsylvania, Sgt. Joseph Ventre and Patrolman Michael Devlin of the Kenilworth Police Department were exiting a sporting goods store when they spotted a frantic woman running through the parking lot screaming and holding a limp, lifeless child in her arms.
Both officers exited their vehicle and Sgt. Ventre realizing the child was choking, gave back blows dislodging the object to allow the child to resume breathing.
In late July, officers responded to a report that a 70 year-old female with an unknown medical problem was in need of assistance. Arriving at the residence Cpl. Jason Labaska and Patrolman Dennis Carovillano immediately started CPR.
Arriving only a minute later, Patrolman Joseph Parlapiano attached the automated external defibrillator and administered two shocks. When the EMTs arrived, the woman’s pulse was restored and she was breathing on her own.
In early December, Sgt. Justine Kennedy and patrolman Michael Scuorzo responded to a medical emergency for an unresponsive 63 year-old female who was not breathing and had no pulse. The officers provide CPR and utilized the automatic external defibrillator. The swift and professional actions of the officers resulted in the life of the woman being sustained for transport to Overlook Hospital.

Police save 4 from burning car in Brookfield

October 30, 2010 (BROOKFIELD, Ill.) (WLS) -- Police rescued four victims of a fiery car crash in west suburban Brookfield early Saturday morning.

Firefighters say the car left the road, hit a curb, struck a tree and burst into flames at Oak and Shields avenues.

Police who arrived first on the scene pulled the four occupants out of the burning car.

The victims are all in their twenties. Three were transported to a hospital on advanced life support. The other was on basic life support.

Only jackoff cop I've dealt with was one that made fun of me for either stuttering or not understanding what he was yelling. Unprofessional.

Last run-in with a cop was in one of the most ghetto areas of the Chicago south suburbs. Was poking around outside of an abandoned building when he rolled up. I got pat down, asked a few questions, and he took a look at my car but didn't search it (actually complimented it). Once I showed him the cameras he ran my ID, came back to light a smoke, and we shot the sh!t about the building for a few minutes before moving on. No big deal, but he could've got me for trespassing.

It kills me of all the hate to Cops, but when your in trouble who's the 1st one to be called.
Example: Group Sitting on the porch. Cop drives by real slow. Words are said amongst the group about the damn cop. 10 min later a car drives by and runs over your child and keeps on going. Now your pleading for the cop to help and go get the bad guy. Am I wrong? Would you call the Police? Of course. 911 would be dialed within minutes.
If you have a hate the Police, then dont call on them for help.

So no matter how poorly someone does their job you shouldn't complain? Is there competition can I call a different number and get cops that will show up within an hour?
I guess I have a bias I don't trust people who are attracted to power.

Respectfully, I would ask this thread be kept for the good experiences. We already have a thread dedicated to bad LEO experiences.
I think it's good to present both sides, but let's please try to keep each thread on topic.

Van Accident Kills Parents, but Police Save Their Children

A van carrying a New Jersey family of five veered off the Staten Island Expressway early yesterday and crashed into the concrete wall of an overpass, bursting into flames, the police said. Officers who raced to the scene broke the van’s windows and rescued the three children but could not save their parents.


The New York Times
The van, traveling west just after 4 a.m., swerved off the expressway near the Slosson Avenue exit, then continued about 200 feet up a tree-lined hill, the police said. It struck a tree, then hit the concrete wall and exploded in flames. The police said they did not know why the driver had lost control.

A driver who witnessed the crash saw a police car parked on the shoulder about a mile down the expressway. The driver told the officers in the car, Robert Albano and Kevin Mullane, what had happened, the two officers said in a telephone interview. They rushed to the van, which was already in flames.

Two toddlers were in car seats in the van’s middle seat and a 9-year-old girl was in the rear, and they were crying for help, said Officer Albano, the first to reach the van.

Officer Albano said he punched through a window on the right side with his elbow, then helped the 9-year-old girl and her 3-year-old sister escape through the hole, he said.

Meanwhile, Officer Mullane said, he pulled what tools he could find from the patrol car — a sledgehammer, a fire extinguisher and a prying tool known as a Halligan bar — then broke a window on the van’s left side. Through that window, the officers pulled out a 2-year-old boy still buckled into his car seat, Officer Albano said.

They helped the children down the hill, where a crowd had gathered, then returned to the van. But the fire was too intense to pull the parents out, Officer Albano said. The couple, identified as Arturo Lopez-Mendez, 29, and Christina Guardado, 30, of Elizabeth, N.J., were pronounced dead at the scene.

At the scene of the crash yesterday, as other emergency vehicles arrived and the children waited by the roadside, they seemed dazed and in shock, as if they did not understand what had happened, Officer Albano said.

The oldest child, who had been in the back seat, sustained injuries to her face, Officer Albano said, and all the children had minor burns.

One was treated initially at St. Vincent’s Hospital Staten Island and the others at Staten Island University Hospital North, the police said. They were all reported to be in stable condition last night at Staten Island University Hospital North, where their extended relatives gathered.

The family’s neighbors in Elizabeth said they had arrived there from the Bronx about two years ago. Buying their house in Elizabeth was the fulfillment of a dream, they said. Mr. Lopez-Mendez, who worked in construction, made improvements on the home by updating the kitchen, the bathroom and a nursery, a neighbor said.

Neighbors identified the children as Elizabeth, the 9-year-old; Catherine, 3; and David, 2.

At family gatherings, Ms. Guardado prepared large meals, and the couple were known to dance the merengue, said Manuel Landaverde, 62, another neighbor who occasionally joined them.

Another neighbor, Will Banks, 21, said that on some mornings, when the couple set off for work, leaving the children with their grandparents, the girls would cry beside the car, begging their mother not to go. The couple commuted by car pool to New York City, where Ms. Guardado worked for a nonprofit agency.

At the 122nd Precinct station house in Staten Island yesterday afternoon, the officers talked about the rescue. Officer Albano wore a cast on his right arm, having injured it as he broke through a van window. He was treated at Staten Island University Hospital North and released in the afternoon.

The officers, members of Highway Unit 5, were hailed as heroes for having saved the three children. In a statement, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said they “performed superbly, and lives were saved as a result.”

But it was clearly hard for them to celebrate the rescue.

“We wish we could have saved the parents as well,” Officer Albano said. “It’s heart-wrenching these children lost their parents.” Officer Mullane echoed his partner: “They’re in our prayers and we hope the best for them.”

NEW YORK — A police officer who dodged gunfire and stopped an armed holdup in a salon where she was getting her hair done was promoted to rank of detective on Tuesday. She shrugged off praise of her actions, saying it was just part of her personality to keep calm under pressure.
"I don't fuss about much," Feris Jones said after Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly pinned a detective's shield onto her uniform at a City Hall ceremony with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Jones was promoted days after she calmly exchanged fire with an armed robber in a Brooklyn salon, shooting the gun out of his hand and firing the handle off the door, briefly delaying his escape. She and the other women in the salon were not hit.

Kelly praised her "stunning marksmanship" and "steely courage," while Bloomberg said she likely saved lives.
"Her quick thinking and sharp aim stopped an armed robbery, or worse," the mayor said.
Jones was off duty on Saturday, having her hair done at Sabine's Hallway Beauty Salon in Brooklyn, when the suspect burst in, brandishing a .44-caliber revolver.
Police said he demanded the four women in the salon give him their valuables. After Jones identified herself as a police officer, the suspect opened fire.
Advertise | AdChoices
She fired back, shooting the gun out of his hand and the handle off the door.
The suspect, whose hand was injured, fled out a window but police later followed a trail of blood and arrested him early Monday.
Jones, 50, a Barbados native who has one adult child, had never fired a gun in the line of duty during her two-decade police career. Officials described her as a respected member of the force, most recently assigned to the crime lab.

She said she was finally able to finish getting her hair done Monday night.
Reporters at the City Hall ceremony repeatedly addressed her as "detective," but she wasn't used to the title yet.
"Can you just call me 'Jonesy?'" she asked.

Police save man from burning car in Somerville
SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- Police rescued a man from a burning SUV on I-93 North Tuesday in Somerville.

Michael Bold was on his way home from work when smoke started to fill his SUV. He soon realized that his windows and door wouldn’t open, and he was trapped inside the vehicle.

He tried to get other people’s attention, but they ignored him. Then Bold spotted a Woburn Police cruiser filled with officers who were coming back from a training exercise in Boston.

“I did get right behind them and beeped the horn for maybe 15 seconds, and they probably thought I was crazy. I came to the left of them and they saw what was going on finally and said ‘Pull over.’” said Bold.

In the middle of rush hour, Bold stopped in the shoulder. The officers got the passenger door opened and pulled him out onto the road.

Seconds later, Bold’s red Blazer was barely visible from the flames.

Bold considers himself lucky and is sure that if it wasn’t for those officers passing at that exact time, he wouldn’t be alive.

“Pretty scary to say the least. I had a hard time getting out of the car because I’m a big guy and I said ‘Just get me out.’ ‘We’re going to get you out now.’ [said the officers] And they just pulled me out real quick,” said Bold.

According to Bold, he has only had the car for about two years and it only has about 50,000 miles and he hasn’t had any problems before, but plans to find out what went wrong.

I was always told ..If you have nothing good to say.Don't say anything at all.

Will I can tell you this..Most the Tenn. State Troopers I had the pleasure to meet Been good, great. Never felt any threat from them at all.
Would talk to me like I person should.
The county cops. Some of them are asses. The one that came after my break in into my house was a very good guy. I still talk to him now and then. He even gone to court with me..
The Knox city cops are nothing but,,, Never mind I have nothing good to say about them. But If I was to get pulled over by the city.. 1st thing I do is call a friend
City don't like it much when a County or State pulls up. (grins) Most the City cops know me in the area. They stay the hell away from me. I guess they are smarter then
I give created for.

Good to hear. Contrary to popular belief they are human....not robots ;-)

I joined awhile ago and havent posted much at all because ive been busy but hopefully i can start posting more often. Every time i have encountered the police all of them have been polite and did nothing wrong. One expierance with the police i was stopped for driving 110 mph in a 70 mph zone. When the cop asked me why i was going so fast i said because i am a dumb kid with a fast car (96 z28 camaro) he laughed and then wrote me a ticket for 80 mph in a 70 mph zone and said he was giving me a break because i told the truth. Another time i was stopped for drag racing on city streets. Drag racing, speeding, wreakless driving and few of the many tickets i could have recieved but i was let go with no tickets all the cop said was "i was like you once go home and get your head out of your butt before you kill yourself". On both occasions the police officer could have impounded my car sent me to jail and revoked my driving license. This proves to me that most cops are good and you should just be honest and upfront with them.

Trooper Rescues Boy from Icy Pond
An off-duty Colorado state trooper pulled a boy from a frozen pond and saved his life. KUSA's Anastasiya Bolton reports.
