Waterford Children Show Police They Care in Wake of Dallas Tragedy

On a sad day for law enforcement, two little girls picked up the spirits of the Waterford Police Department.

WATERFORD, CT- On a sad day for law enforcement officers, two little girls decided to show the Waterford Police Department they care.

A recent post on their Facebook page revealed that the girls, identified as Angela and Mikayla, came with their mom to the department’s lobby and dropped off presents they had made. Written in what appears to be crayon, their construction paper messages to the officers of Waterford reads “thank you for your service.”

Also included was a small round object that the post identified as a homemade paper badge.
