If we are going to have a thread pointing out failings of police officers, we also should have a thread talking about police officers going above and beyond.

Watch "Fridays with Frank" on YouTube - he does a lot of good things...even to people most of us would likely throat punch after 2-3 seconds of them lipping off...
If you get an episode with his Sheriff doing a ride along with him, the Sheriff tends to let folks of with a warning in lieu of a ticket.

Props to the Washington State law enforcement folks who were out scouring the area for these two unfortunate kayakers, as well as Coast Guard and CAF SAR resources who were out in some pretty crummy weather during the search ...
Sheriff Eric Peter says the first body, of a man, was reported on Monday around 3 p.m. PT. He said authorities found the body floating in the water against the rocks in Grandma's Cove, on the south side of San Juan Island.
The second body was reported Tuesday around 6:30 a.m. PT, located in Middle Channel to the south of the island.
Both bodies were turned over to the coroner's office.
"Out of respect for the family, the Sheriff's Office will not speculate as to whether or not these are the missing Canadian kayakers," Peter said.
Earlier Monday, RCMP confirmed that a body had been recovered by authorities in Washington state and was believed to be one of the two missing kayakers, who were named as Daniel MacAlpine, 36, and Nicolas West, 26.

'An absolute dream come true': Edmonton police officer competes in World's Strongest Man competition
The EPS constable has been strength training since 2018, and this is the first time qualifying for the World's Strongest Man competition

I know Tristan (somewhat - just through crossing paths within the emergency services community here in Edmonton) and he's a freaking HULK of a man!
He may be 6'3" tall but with his work boots on he stands around 6'5" or so. (I'm 6'2" and I can honestly say I feel pretty small whenever I'm near him!)
I had no idea he was a professional powerlifter, but now that I've read this article, it makes perfect sense actually
Representing the profession well! Absolutely outstanding, Cst. Hoathe!

Here's one from a few years back which really touched a lot of hearts:

I know many of the officers involved.

The previous CO of our Navy League Corp is RCMP (As was our branch President for a bit) He spent 6 years pulling it from a massive shambles to a well running organization that I got to inherit. I don't think people realize just how much volunteer work your average police officer does.
