Roeland Park police officers gift bike to traveler
Two Roeland Park police officers gifted a bicycle to a woman traveling to South Dakota last week.
Officers Dietrich and Wilson met a woman with no form of transportation last week, who said she wished she had a bike to move throughout the city easier. The officers found a bike in police possession, and were able to gift it to her.
Chief John Morris said it’s just another example of the department making a difference.
“This is how we roll [at Roeland Park Police Department],” Morris said in an email to the Post. “I’m so proud of my officers for doing something great again.”
