Police Officer Makes Headlines For His Compassionate Heart Towards an Elderly Man

Erika Carter

Deputy Police Officer Nathan Simms has been making headlines recently for acting out of the kindness of his heart.

With so many stories in the news detailing police officers in unfavorable light, it’s nice to see officers making headlines for good reasons!

Caught on camera by a passerby, officer Nathan Simms is seen sitting with an elderly man while he waits for the bus. It is reported that Simms sat with the man for about 45 minutes in near 100 degree heat.

The man who caught it all, John, was so moved by what he saw, that he decided to pen a letter to Simm’s supervisor, Sgt. Jerry Shelton. The letter stated:

“The scene led my thoughts to believe that the deputy was paying honor and respect to this gentleman, almost as a friend would, perhaps just keeping him company as he waited for the bus to arrive.”

What a nice gesture. We hope more stories like this come to light. In today’s world of scary headlines, it’s always nice to see a wonderful, uplifting story like this.

SHARE the love and pass it on!
