Passerby Pens Heartfelt Letter After Seeing Cobb Officer Giving Roadside Assistance

MARIETTA, GA -- We generally are appreciative of our local police force, but when is the last time you told them so? One passerby in Cobb County saw a police officer and K-9 on the side of the road giving assistance to a stranded motorist.

Then incident, which happened August 3, so moved the passerby that they wrote a heartfelt letter to the Cobb Police Department.

The Cobb police force shared the letter on its Facebook page, leading commenters to share the overall sentiment that Cobb officers are totally awesome. Below is the letter in full.

"I am addressing this letter to (Officer) Blakeney, your K9 officer and really to the entire Cobb County Department.
This morning around 0930, I witnessed Officer Blakeney going above and beyond in my opinion the scope of his job. He was helping a stranded motorist by changing her tire. It was obvious she did not know how or could not do it herself and he spared no time in not only doing it for her, but doing it with a smile on his face.
....I want to personally thank you for helping her today and wanted you to know I appreciate the service you provided and your department provides daily.
As always, we are here for you and all first responders at our store. If your ever in the area, stop by and let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Thank you for your continued service."

The letter is a wonderful reminder that officers do more than the gritty crime work we see depicted on TV -- they do it all.
