We got to see New York's finest in action when we visited last month. First, the men of the NYFD when they showed up at our daughter's apartment building to check out the smell of gas.
They made quick work of the problem -- a stove left on in a main floor apartment, and after watching me watch them run in and out with their picks and shovels while my husband and daughter ran up and down with boxes and suitcases, one was so observant as to figure out what I was thinking.
"Your daughter will be fine," he said reassuringly.
Second, the men of the NYPD, as they blocked all passage from anywhere too near the UN during a summit of 20 nations that included an appearance and remarks from the President of our very own nation. The police very effectively, though politely, kept us riffraff away from the limosines with the motorcycle escort and guest vehicles and ambulance as it hustled into the UN complex.
Effective and polite are the words that come to mind in both cases.
Thanks guys.
