Real Stories. Real Gratitude. Northeast Ohio Police Appreciation.

Officer helped me during a dangerous highway stall

A Cleveland resident shared a powerful experience after their car stalled on I-480 during heavy traffic. With low fuel and limited visibility on a dangerous curve, the situation quickly became unsafe.

A Cleveland police officer responded quickly, stepping into a high-risk situation to help protect the driver and prevent a potential accident. Two Ohio Department of Transportation workers also assisted by providing fuel.

The resident expressed deep appreciation for everyone involved, believing their actions helped prevent what could have been a serious multi-vehicle incident.

Keeping Clark Avenue safer

My name is Susy Díaz, and I live in the Clark Avenue neighborhood here in Cleveland. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a strong police presence focused on traffic enforcement, and I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation.

Officer Scott Dinehart, with the Cleveland Division of Police, has been working in our area addressing speeding and helping improve safety along Clark Avenue. His presence has made a real difference.

What really stands out to me is how Officer Dinehart interacts with people. He is professional, kind, and fair with everyone he speaks to.
