Community Policing is not as glamourous or flashy as the speed chases, or running into burning buildings we see on TV. In fact, it is probably in the same realm of chosen opportunities as traffic direction! However, Constable Peter Jeon, over the year of 2010-11, provided exceptional community service to my family in dealing with a neighbourhood dispute. In the end, the entire matter resolved itself in the court system in 2015; but it was Constable Jeon's cool management that prevented further, even potentially deadly, consequences from unfolding. He was able to diffuse and mitigate the situation such that the outcome was controlled and orderly. For this cool, collected reasoning, I offer a nomination to Peter Jeon for my police hero of the year.
