Officer spends time helping children learn to read
NEWPORT, Vir. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - An officer in Virginia has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make a difference in the lives of a couple of children.
According to the Newport Police Department, MPO C. Hall has volunteeered his time every week to read to a couple of children at their police headquarters.
They said that this started after the children's grandmother brought them in to the headquarters to speak to an officer about the importance of being a good citizen. During this conversation, MPO Hall learned that one of the children was struggling with reading.
MPO Hall then reportedly offered to spend time each week working on their reading skills. These sessions seem to be making a difference, the police department said.
