Some kind words for Boardman Township Police Department, and Officer Steve Dubos!

“Last week, I was involved in a vehicle accident while on vacation with my wife. We are from out of state, about 1,000 miles from home that day. Officer Dubos was the responding officer. After the incident we were shaken up, but Officer Dubos was very calm and concerned for our safety. His presence helped us feel safe, and throughout the entire interaction he was so helpful and kind. He even offered to help get us to a hotel while we sorted out our travel arrangements, which we both thought was above and beyond. In the days since, my wife and I have several times discussed how professional and kind Officer Dubos was and how his demeanor helped us figure out what our next steps were when we were stranded far from home. We are very grateful to him and wanted to pass along our thanks. Thank you Officer Dubos and the entire Boardman Police Department!”
