I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Brooklyn police for the excellent service we received on the night of 29 November. I believe the police receive a lot of negative criticism and I feel it is only right to inform the general public of the excellent service we received. On the night in question, I contacted the police with regard to a situation relating to my ex, who was threatening suicide and was at this point both a threat to herself and society. I contacted the police at roughly 18:00. After 10 minutes I received a call to inform me that they had arrived at our residence and requested that I attend and explain the story. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently they acted and defused an otherwise dangerous situation.
The knowledge of procedures and possible solutions that the officers had was astounding and within a very short period of time a solution was found to the problem. Even though the officers were present, they waited for female officers to attend in order to remove my ex from the residence and escort her to a place of safety. I wish to especially thank Warrant Officer van Vuuren and his team, officers Erwee and Dodgen for the excellent service received. It is undoubtedly because of the officers above that my faith in our law enforcement has been restored, they deserve a well-rounded thank you.
