HERO: Safety Service Patrol Operator

[TowNews]

From: New Jersey Department of Transportation

 

 

Safety Service Patrol Operator Kevin R. was patrolling I-78 EB in Bedminster Twp. when he came upon a vehicle parked on the shoulder. Kevin noticed that the elderly driver appeared confused and disoriented so he alerted the New Jersey State Police. When troopers arrived, they ran the individual’s name in their system and discovered she was listed as a missing person out of Pennsylvania.

Due to Kevin’s actions, the woman was safely reunited with her family. Well done, Kevin!

NIce!!  Hope she gave him a tip!  oh nevermind.

NO, if you take a tip working a government job you risk that job. Oddly, politicians seem to earn more then their government salaries. There are times when you just can't tell someone NO, in that case the money is donated to a charity and documented. There's always a work around, otherwise not tips.

Many of us have benefited for these Service Patrol Units where available. Granted we don't find ourselves in that area much. However, when we are they always seem to already be there or find us... They say they are dispatched to stranded motorists using the cameras along the roadways.
