10 Times Cops Went Beyond Call Of Duty In 2015

Here are 10 times cops went beyond call of duty in 2015.

Authorities are often witnesses to great hardships and heart-breaking situations, and many go far beyond the call of duty to help out the best they can.
Here are 10 of those times that occurred in 2015.
Number 10. Prince George’s County, Maryland. Upon learning a woman and her infant daughter had no place to stay until a relative could pick them up, Corporal Che’ Atkinson rented them a motel room. He also bought the pair some food, as they hadn’t eaten in some time. 
Number 9. Rochester, Michigan. Sometimes, animals need a helping hand, as was the case with a baby skunk whose head was stuck in a yogurt container. Officer Taylor managed to get close enough to the animal to pull the cup off. Thankfully, the young skunk hadn’t yet grown into his or her ability to spray. 
Number 8. Middletown, Ohio. Officer Jason Deaton received a lot of positive attention when news spread that he had given pizza and a soda to a homeless man. The department posted a picture of Deaton delivering the meal and wrote, “Sometimes we all just need a little help."
Number 7. Eindhoven, Netherlands. After a mother was rushed to a hospital because of low blood sugar, two officers volunteered to stick around and watch her children. The duo cooked up some dinner for the kids, complete with a serving of super-healthy fruit, and then did the dishes. 
Number 6. Crowley, Louisiana. For a child, losing a parent in the bustle of a crowd can be terrifying. When officer David Taylor encountered a young boy, alone and upset, he carried the youth around, holding the youngster high so he could keep an eye out for his mom. By the time Taylor located her, the boy was not only calmer, but fast asleep. 
Number 5. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On the night the city hosted a Republican Presidential Primary Debate, the downtown area was filled with demonstrators of various kinds. One lit an American flag on fire. Before turning the scorched flag into evidence, officers held an impromptu ceremony, taking the time to fold it in the proper way. 
Number 4. Memphis, Tennessee. Police responding to a burglary learned one of the items stolen was an 11-year-old’s XBox. Officers soon realized that not only was the game one of the boy’s few possessions, it was his most prized. After the child told them he wasn’t going to ask for another because he knew his mother couldn’t afford one, they went and got the child a replacement. 
Number 3. Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Officer Michael Kotsonis was following up on a complaint concerning some stolen baking ingredients. When he arrived at the suspects home, he learned the woman who took them just wanted to bake her child a birthday cake. Rather than arrest her, Kotsonis went to the store and paid for the items. 
Number 2. Dallas, Texas. Kimberly Stangarone, a campus officer at J.L. Long Middle School, learned sign language so she could better communicate with the deaf students attending classes there. Said Stangarone, "My goal... my mission... is to help and serve the community. I think that should be everyone — including deaf students and deaf adults." 
Number 1. Leeds, Alabama. A baby who was involved in a car crash was understandably shaken, and Officer Ric Lindley stepped up to comfort the child. He held the girl while the others involved were being checked over for injuries.
