DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) – A Decatur police officer was recognized for his act of kindness toward a child.
On Wednesday, police said Officer Clayton Zilz saw Zycoria Ferguson walking home with her father Wednesday. He decided to bring her some Thin Mints, a moment that brought a smile to the young girl’s face!
The police department spoke highly of the man Zilz is in a Facebook post.
“All of us here at DPD know (Zilz) to be an outstanding young officer who always represents the police department in the most professional way,” they said.
