A letter received by the
Division thanking Detective Packer:
Just had to send you a note
thanking you for your compassion and kindness to me
at the Obama event. I was really having a hard
time walking so far. My strength is not what
is was. I must confess, my opinion of the
Mansfield Police is a lot higher. Thanks
again. You are a true Gentlemen.

E-Mail
received by the Office of the Chief:
I want to compliment and thank
Officer Garrick for her weeks of researching the
legality of pit bulls in the City of Mansfield. She
kept us updated on her progress, as she was told
different answers by different people. After
receiving a current legal opinion, a summons was
served to an offender in our area.
This individual has ongoing issues and the event
could have turned dangerous, but Officer Garrick did
not shirk her duty and she successfully dealt with
the concern.Many neighbors are grateful
for her efforts.
