Another MTPD good deed caught on camera! Officer Vang was recently spotted helping a citizen get to their destination, personally pushing the wheelchair-using person from Franklin and Elliot to the ALDI store at Franklin and 14th, a trip of about four blocks. Thank you, Officer Vang!

While on patrol at Fremont Ave N. and Broadway earlier this week, MTPD officers observed a unoccupied vehicle in the middle of the road. They found the owner and learned that she had ran out of gas. The officers helped push the vehicle into a safe place while she waiting for her tow.

A smiling MTPD officer with a black and brown dog standing on the back seat of his squad car.
Recently, Officer DuLac was at his morning rush hour detail and noticed a dog roaming with a leash on, but no owner in the vicinity. Officer DuLac was able to get the dog in the back of the squad & safely transported the pup to the shelter where she is safe and her owners can hopefully find her.

Seen from behind, an elderly man and a Metro Transit Police lieutenant walk side by side on a light rail platform.
This is what policing as a service looks like!
An elderly gentleman found himself lost on the platform. Without hesitation, Lt. Leubner stepped in—walking him to the end of the platform and providing clear directions so he could safely find his way.
Outstanding work, Lt. Leubner!
