Todays Good News: A woman recently emailed to commend Third Precinct Sergeant Chuck Hayes for helping her daughter deal with a troubled roommate situation. “Sgt. Hayes was kind enough to speak with me and talk through what our options were regarding the incident and regarding the roommate’s behavior. He reassured me that I was thinking right about the escalating behavior and that my daughter needed to get out of that living situation and that I should continue to try and persuade her to move. Of course, my daughter did not agree with me that she should move out,” the woman wrote. “He was very kind to listen to a very worried parent and supportive that I get involved in my then 20-year-old’s situation. Sgt. Hayes kindly gave my daughter a call, unbeknownst to me at the time, and spoke with her about her situation. He pointed out to her that she was definitely not in a good place with her roommate and that she should seriously consider her alternatives. I know from speaking with Sgt. Hayes after the call that it was a good conversation. Even better, my daughter decided within 24 hours of that conversation that she should move out. “A few months after that situation she was able to look back and recognize that she had really been affected both mentally and physically. I think it is not likely that she would thank me or Sgt. Hayes for intervening but that doesnt matter to me since I can see that she is healthy, happy and more capable of making smart choices concerning her well-being. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for Sgt. Hayes service and for all that the Richmond Police Department does to make the city a safe community.”
