Meet Officers Jason Pavlige, 32, and James Hodges, 26, of Fruitport Township, Michigan. That's them below....
Back in February, 2015, these Officers responded to a call made by a McDonald's worker who was concerned that a baby was not properly secured in a car seat when her parents picked up some food from the restaurant. When the Officers stopped the couple's car, they found a 10 month old girl sitting in her mother's lap while her father drove the vehicle. The couple, who have not been identified, explained that they did not have the means to buy a proper child car seat. Officer Hodges explained that "they had just recently moved to the area... they didn;t have anyone [family or friends] close... there were no co-workers, no one who could help them out." So, rather than giving the couple a ticket, the officers decided on a different tact.
Per Hodges: "'We spoke with each other and made the decision to go get them a car seat so we'd know the kid was safe and that this issue wouldn't come up again", so the two Officers pooled their money and, while Pavlige stayed with the family, Hodges went to a local Walmart to buy a new car seat for the baby. They then installed the seat and showed the shocked couple how to use it. Per Hodges: "They didn't say much but were just very appreciative".
Neither of the Officers told anyone about their good deed; it only came to light after a Walmart employee called the police station in late March to let their superiors know what had happened. Rather than tooting their own horns both Officer said that they were simply doing their jobs. Per Hodges: "We made the decision that was what we needed to do to solve the issue. It's just part of what police officers do on a daily basis." And that is true. For every "bad cop" story you read please remember that there are just as many, if not more "good cop" stories to tell.
