On Saturday, April 11, Remy was on patrol in the Trumbull Gardens apartment complex when he stopped to help a child who needed help fixing his broken bike.
Unbeknownst to Remy, a resident of the complex noticed the act of kindness and took a picture.
“Bridgeport police officers help protect our community day in and day out,” said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch. “They help make our neighborhoods safer and more secure for kids and families, ensuring our city continues getting better every day.”
“Officer Remy’s act of helping out a child in need in our community is a great example. He doesn’t think he did anything extraordinary. But I disagree. The picture speaks for itself. And, I’ll leave it up to others in our community and beyond to decide for themselves.”
Due to the work of the Bridgeport Police Department, and a growing economy, crime is trending at historic lows in the state’s largest city. The Park City has experienced the biggest drop in crime in New England over the past decade when compared to cities of comparable size, the mayor's office said.
