Service goes beyond answering calls. After noticing a motorist attempting to change their flat tire, Officer Singh pulled over and stepped in to get him safely back on the road. A small act of kindness that made a big difference.

Thousands of people are heading home following tonight's fireworks. Expect heavy traffic and crowded transit. If you're able, wait 30–60 minutes or until congestion eases before beginning your trip home. Staggering departures will help reduce congestion and ease crowding on transit. • Walk or bike if you are able. • Drive sober or get pulled over. • Use extra caution on darkened roadways. • Please be patient—it will take time for traffic and transit to clear.
