Compassionate Police Service As Officer Buys Homeless Shoplifter Warm Clothes

Title Compassionate Police Service As Officer Buys Homeless Shoplifter Warm Clothes
Summary Officers from the Redmond Washington Police Department acted with kindness and empathy when dealing with a shoplifter at a local Target. On December 27, a man was found with stolen clothing and was discovered to have an outstanding warrant for theft. The shoplifter was homeless and explained that he had been suffering from a painful hand infection and that his prescribed antibiotics had been stolen. Whilst the officers reiterated that theft is still illegal and the case will proceed in court, they used their BlueBridge Alliance card to purchase the jacket and snow pants for him before transporting to the hospital, as they knew that afterwards he would be released back to the cold streets.
