From Sgt. Aimee Bartlett

I would like to thank Dep. Gary Edwards for extending the courtesy of a simple phone call. Staley High School had been out of session for three weeks when Dep. Edwards returned to work there on Monday, January 11th. My off-duty assignment begins at 0630 hours there because of the early release schedule the day I work. Dep. Edwards returned to his office at the school after a break and realized that during this week there was no early release. I’m sure he had enough catching up to do that he could have just filed that information away. Instead, he took 30 seconds to pick up the phone and call me to let me know that I didn’t have to report quite so early. While it’s only a half hour difference in my reporting time, it’s enough that it enabled me to have time to take care of other responsibilities on my way to work that morning. Dep. Edwards took action when no action was necessary or expected. That is why it was appreciated so very much. Thank you for your courtesy, Gary!
