However, one woman pulled over by an officer with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety in Georgia was the exception to this rule. The citizen, who was given a citation Friday morning for speeding, decided to write a thank you note to the officer before she continued on with her day.
“As he started to walk off, she handed him a note and then drove away without saying anything else,” the agency said on its Facebook page.

The note reads:
Mr. officer,
Shame on me for speeding.
There is a lot of publicity (negative) about police officers and your job is very dangerous. I want you to know that my family and I feel very blessed to be protected by wonderful people like you! So, thank you!
Caring Alpharetta resident!
“Regarding the person who gave our officer a handwritten note after receiving a citation, I am grateful for this amazing act of acknowledgement and kindness directed to one of our police officers,” he added. “It takes a special person to do such an act of kindness such as this.”
