Recently, Deputy Jacob Hurd was dispatched to the Shoreline Precinct lobby to take a report from a community member who had discovered fraudulent charges made using her debit card. Shortly after the incident, the precinct received a letter from Sharon, the reporting party, praising Deputy Hurd’s professionalism and care.

Sharon wrote, “Deputy Hurd was courteous, professional, and thorough. He showed patience and compassion, didn’t rush me, asked pertinent questions, and clearly advised me on how to resolve my situation. As a senior in the community, this level of care is an appreciated surprise.”

She closed by requesting that Deputy Hurd be recognized for his exceptional service, writing that he “deserves to be awarded a commendation for his display of professionalism that is a cornerstone of the police department.” She thanked him for being part of Shoreline Police and for making a difficult experience easier to navigate.
