Crime “To all the Police Men & Women who looked after me for 4
days and nights. Thank you for your genuine gentleness
and kindness you are gentlemen and gentlewomen you
made a hard stay easy your Commanding Officer should be
proud of you as you are angels without wings forever in your
debt.”
Death “I would like to express my thanks for the compassionate
and professional manner with which you dealt with the
incident, particularly the manner in which you interacted with
me at what was clearly a difficult and distressing time for
me.”
Road Traffic Accident “This was a particularly difficult time for us but the support
from you and your officers was very much appreciated. I
cannot thank you enough.”
Death “…however, their talking point for a long time to come is that
the officers saluted the cortege as it passed them, and have
asked that I pass on their heartfelt thanks to you all.”
