CHP Contra Costa: The Softer Side of a Bad Situation

by ECT

Last night two California Highway Patrol officers arrested a women driving a stolen vehicle. CHP stated she had her two-year-old daughter in the stolen vehicle with her at the time of the arrest.

CHP had to transport the two year old to their officers where her grandmother could care for her.

A CHP officer noticed the little girl seemed upset, so he grabbed a giant teddy bear from the office and placed it in the front seat of his patrol vehicle.

“I thought if a gigantic teddy bear felt safe riding with me, so would she,” the Officer reflected.

As it turned out the fuzzy bear worked to calm the child, turning her worry into laughter as the officer, the two year old, and one enormous teddy bear headed safely to our CHP office in Martinez, where grandma was awaiting with open arms and lots of love for her granddaughter.
