On August 27, 2015, at about 4:30 p.m., Senior Corporal Berry, #10207, responded to a health and welfare check in the 300 block of Upton Street. Senior Corporal Berry met with a single mother at the location who is deaf, unemployed and raising two children. The children had missed the first week of school because they were unable to afford school uniforms. Senior Corporal Berry contacted the South Central Division Neighborhood Police Office seeking assistance for the mother and her children.
The South Central Neighborhood Police Office sent Senior Corporals Jernigan #7979, Noel #8464, and Dickens #7958, to meet with the family and discovered that they were living in substandard conditions. The officers were pleasantly surprised by the family’s cheerful spirit and warm attitude despite their situation. The officers then took it upon themselves to purchase school supplies, school uniforms, and shoes for both of the children so they could go to school.
The officers felt compelled to do more to help the family so they asked family, friends, and other officers to donate living room furniture, a mattress, tables, gift cards, and a television. Senior Corporal Jernigan said they feel like they have “adopted the family as a unit.” They regularly keep in contact with the family and they recently received a donation of a washer and dryer that will be delivered soon.
The Dallas Police Department is incredibly proud of these officers for their caring attitude and their outstanding service to the community. Thank you for your hard work!
Several officers helped the family by donating goods and moving furniture. We would like to thank and recognize the following officers for their involvement:
Senior Corporal Berry #10207
Senior Corporal Bronner #10298

Senior Corporal Dickens #7958

The Dallas Police Department would like to give a huge thank you to the seventh and eighth grade students of Fowler Middle School in Coach Rutland’s class for writing thank you letters to police officers and firefighters in Dallas, Frisco, and Plano. Coach Rutland said she wanted her students to be “appreciative of law enforcement officers and firefighters.”
She said, “my students and I both admire the work and service your profession carries out. Words can only express a portion; however, I hope these letters show the impact and difference you all make. It does not go unnoticed.”
One student, Eric, stated in his letter, “I”m writing to thank you for putting yourself in the way of my family and the not-so-great people of the world. By doing so, it really shows that you care for your community, your people, and your country.”
Another student, Milith, said “It’s hard to imagine what it would be like without you. Everyone would be living in fear and terror while bad people roamed the street. But people like you are brave enough to get out there and put a halt to criminals. You are one of the main reasons we are leading happy lives. I think I can speak for the whole world when I say THANK YOU!”
Thank you again to Coach Rutland and her students for taking the time to write letters for our officers. We truly appreciate your kind words and the show of support.
