I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and express my sincere appreciation for Officer DeLeon and Officer Entenok.
Recently, they noticed my neighbor’s minivan trunk had been left open. My neighbor is a construction worker, and his tools are his livelihood. Without hesitation, the officers took the time to close the trunk to help protect his belongings from potential theft.
This act may seem small to some, but it meant a great deal—especially to me. At the end of last summer, my own car was broken into, so I understand firsthand how stressful that experience can be.
Seeing officers not only patrolling our area, but also taking proactive steps to look out for our community, is truly reassuring. Their kindness, attentiveness, and care do not go unnoticed.
Because of officers like them, our neighborhood feels safer and more supported. Kudos to Officer DeLeon and Officer Entenok for going above and beyond in service to our community.

My teen was missing for a couple of days, and it was a very devastating time for our family.
Once Officer Lakisha Harris received the information, she acted with urgency as if it were her own child. She quickly spread the word throughout the community to raise awareness.
Within hours of her efforts, my teen was safely back home. My family and I are incredibly grateful for her kindness, concern, and support during such a difficult moment.
Thank you to Officer Harris and the 4th District — we will always remember what you did for us.

Traffic Enforcement
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. Traffic has slowed down, and it feels safer for families, kids, and everyone who lives or walks through the neighborhood.
What really stands out to me is how Officer Dinehart interacts with people. He is professional, kind, and fair with everyone he speaks to. You can tell he’s not just there to enforce the law, but also to help the community and make sure people understand why safety matters.
As a resident, I truly appreciate the time and effort being put into keeping our neighborhood safe. It does not go unnoticed. These kinds of actions help build trust and make a positive impact on our community.
I just want to say thank you to Officer Dinehart and everyone involved in these efforts on Clark Avenue.
