This Cop Gets An A+

January 19, 2010

Monroe, Ohio takes community policing very seriously.  So when a set of parents at their wits end called for assistance, the police department was happy to oblige.  The parents (who have not been mentioned by name) called the non-emergency number to ask if an officer was available to come speak to their 6-year old son.  Apparently, the boy – for some time now – has been very resistant to going to school in the mornings.  The parents figured if a policeman told the boy that his mother would be in big trouble if he refused to go to school, it might change his behavior.  Officer Mike Doughman took the call and it worked like a charm – the boy has merrily gone off to school every day since.  Meanwhile, with all the media attention this story received, Officer Doughman has become quite the celebrity!


An Ohio couple was tired of their son’s uprising
A plan to get the boy to school was his dad’s devising
A cop came for a talk
Now the son doesn’t balk
Because of this, Officer Doughman’s profile is rising
