Compassionate Law Enforcement

#WomenYouShouldKnow

Over a two-week period in late 2020, the Franklin County, Kansas Sheriff's Office received multiple calls of concern regarding a woman walking alone along a highway in the pre-dawn cold. 

Upon speaking to the woman, deputies learned she was walking 6 miles to work each morning to her job at Love's Truck Stop in Ottawa, Kansas, then 6 miles back to her home in Princeton, Kansas, when her shift ended.

She supports herself and her young twins.

Sgt. Jesse Vega and his patrol team wanted to help. In a matter of days, they located a van, child safety seats, procured vehicle insurance, and more, to give her as a surprise.
