Thank you, BSO
Dear Editor:
In view as to what has happened in New York, I felt compelled to write this in support of the men and women of our police department [Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO)].
The city of Deerfield Beach is blessed to have a superior law enforcement team protecting and serving the residents of our city. If, perhaps, Sheriff Israel and I have not always seen eye to eye, he must be applauded for his outreach programs that have included all of the residents of the community.
Since the commission that I worked with in 1989 chose to merge with BSO, it is probably one of the smartest moves that any politicians have ever made, even for Deerfield Beach.
It is with our sincerest thanks that we let the men and women of BSO know that they have our support and gratitude for keeping us safe.
Jean Robb,
Mayor Deerfield Beach
Pulled over motorist treated with kindness
Dear Editor: On Saturday, Nov. 29, I was in the parking lot of Federal Hwy. Self Storage, 415 S. Federal Hwy., Deerfield. A police officer was pulling into the parking lot with the lights on.
When the lady in the car got out, I noticed that she was a bit older and was on oxygen. I truly felt sorry for her as the officer approached her. I witnessed the nicest act of kindness when Deputy Gary Toth took a renewal sticker from an envelope for Lorraine Esposito’s car and, without hesitation, bent down and placed it on her tag. I had to approach them and take this picture.
I thought how horrible this could have been, but in a split moment, witnessed an act beyond words.
That decision that was made by Deputy Toth will make an impression in my mind that I will never forget.
Let’s think about our actions this year and leave lasting footprints.
Thank you Deputy Toth!
