KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Police work isn't only about arresting criminals and stopping crimes. Sometimes, it's about helping the community and comforting people in need.
Officer Dana Crocker helped one man who looked like he was crying by a parking lot Thursday. Crocker gave him a new pair of shoes since he wasn't wearing any, as well as a new shirt. She also spoke with him in the parking lot, listening to what he had to say, according to officials.
The Knoxville Police Department shared a post about it on their Twitter account Thursday. The incident was originally posted to the "I Love Fountain City!" Facebook group.
