(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City Police officer was caught in the act… of kindness.

 

During the recent heat wave, a Michigan City resident noticed an elderly woman walking home from the store carrying her items. An MCPD officer noticed her too and took time to help.

 

Stopping her police cruiser, the officer offered a ride to the woman, who was pushing a walker while carrying groceries, and made sure she got into her home safely.

 

The alert neighbor caputured some photos of the interaction and reported it to authorities.

 

"I’m not sure who this resource officer is,” the resident said to Chief Marty Corley, “but I’d like to commend her for helping this elderly lady out that was walking in this heat."

 

The kind cop was identified as Detective Taylor Tillman, who is a School Resource Officer at Michigan City High School.

 

In June Tillman won an award for leadership and community service. It’s not hard to see why.
