(SCSO release) – It’s not always about catching bad guys…

Today, an elderly citizen needed assistance & later advised she had no power or cell service to call for help. Cleverly, she used her alarm key fob to activate law enforcement & prayed that someone would come help her. Deputy Putman arrived on scene & heard the sound of a whistle coming from inside the house. Upon approaching the residence, Deputy Putman saw the citizen from the door & she was quickly directed to enter. Deputy Putman entered the house & assisted as needed, as the caregiver wasn’t present at this time.
To follow up, Deputy Putman checked back in with the resident within the hour, to asure the power & cell service was back on. Deputy Putman played her a song on the piano before her departure & reminded her that we’re always here to help!

Law enforcement is a tough job but we’re human too! Well done Deputy Putman!
