A cop named Kirk Keffer saw a 19-year-old named Jourdan Duncan walking down the street last Saturday night in Benicia, California, near San Francisco.
So he stopped to see if he needed help. Jourdan said he was heading home from work . . . which was about a two-hour walk each way. Apparently it’s only a couple miles, but it’s pretty hilly and he has to wait at crosswalks. So that’s why it takes so long.
Anyway, Kirk offered to give him a ride the rest of the way. Then while they were talking in the car, Jourdan said he was thinking of going into law enforcement . . . he’s been working as much as possible to save for school.
And Kirk was so impressed by his work ethic, he talked to some other cops about it. Then the board members of their union unanimously voted to buy Jourdan a new BIKE. Which cuts his commute in half.
They also bought him a helmet, a light, and a bunch of free tune-ups at a local bike shop. And they’re planning to let him go on a ride-along soon, so he can decide if he really wants to be a cop someday. (Fox29.com / SF Gate)
