2 Constable stops car to sit on the ground and have a tete a tete with toddlers
The little kids at Watt’s Gigglez and Grinz daycare in Murrayville loved watching cop cars whizzing by. It made them super excited to see a policeman wave to them. But imagine their delight when one day, rather than just wave, British Columbia Constable Joel Shoihet actually stopped his car, got out and sat on the ground beside them.
Watt noticed the incident and wrote a letter to the Langley times in which it said “This will be a forever memory for these kids, and something I’m sure they will brag about forever. It was the day they had circle time on the sidewalk with a hero,” Officer Shoihet really made those kids feel special.

3 Police officer is invited to a tea party by the girl he saved from choking z year ago
Perhaps the sweetest and most positive police story involves a little girl named Bexley. While on his lunch break on July 25th 2015, Officer Patrick Ray of the Rowlet Police Department responded to a 911 regarding an unresponsive toddler. Since he was in the area, he rushed to the scene. Bexley Norvell only 22 months at the time was unable to breathe and her mother Tammy Norvell couldn’t understand why the girl was turning blue. (They found out later that she had choked on a penny). It took Ray just 27 seconds to get the toddler breathing again using the finger sweep method; she was then handed over to the fire department who also arrived soon after. According to Ray who watched Bexley being taken to the hospital "the reality of it all started to set in," Ray said. "It became more emotional for me ... I just wanted to go home and hug my kids."
Tammy Norvell later found out that Ray had also visited Bexley in hospital. Cut to one year after the incident and Bexley to show her appreciation invited officer Ray to a tea party. Ray knew right away it was a special occasion. "I don't have any girls. I have boys — it's a lot of baseball and such," he said. "So this was something that I couldn't refuse."I knew it would be very special for her, her mom, and even my wife. It was very special for everyone. To share.” Ray even chose to follow the right tea party etiquette by sitting in the little chair Bexley had arranged for him.

"We've developed a strong bond," Ray agreed. He and his family have shared dinners and birthday parties with the Norvells — they even spent this past Thanksgiving together.
