A police officer patrolling the neighborhood noticed a young boy playing by himself, so the officer decided to do something about it!

Of course, back in the day, there were a lot of different police organizations that involved themselves in the community in more ways than ever. Back then, officers would foot patrol the neighborhood while engaging residents and having friendly conversations -- and it wasn't always about looking for the negative or arresting people all of the time.

Wow, what happened to those days?

Just an example of what the difference two minutes can make in someone's life!
