At 5:45 p.m. several days ago, I left work at Butler County Community College knowing I had to be at a church meeting by 6:30.

When I got to my car, it would not start; the battery was dead.

My son would have been happy to come. However, if I waited for him, I would not make my meeting on time. He suggested that I go to the campus police, explain my plight and ask if they had a charger pack to jump my car. They had the charger pack, and an officer was able to help me.

I want to thank the officer for his immediate response. He was sensitive to my problem and had my car started within minutes. I was off to my meeting with enough time to make a fast food, drive-thru stop.

I am grateful for BC3 campus police and the job they do every day to keep us safe. In addition, that day, I greatly appreciated the officer who went the extra mile to assist me.
