When police officer Lance Hoffmeister spotted an elderly woman walking down the street, he couldn’t resist stopping to make sure she was okay. And when he heard her destination, he didn’t hesitate to have her hop into his police car for a ride!At the start of this video, officer Lance Hoffmeister is on a regular drive in his community!

We notice him suddenly stopped on the side of the road. He got out of his car with an 84-year-old woman who was walking on the side of the road with a walker. He is conversing with her. Police are drawn to an elderly woman walking. According to the officer, “she told me she was going to her hair appointment to get a perm at the Paul Mitchell Studio.” The woman then turns around and walks with officer Hoffmeister. He opens the door and assists her in getting into the car.

He explains that she would have had to walk a mile to get there. The officer says that she needs to sit in the back. The elderly woman walking by says, amusingly, “I’ve never had my hands cuffed. It’s the first time for everything.” According to the officer, this woman had a significant impact on him. Because she reminded him of his own grandmother, who had died.

When told that the woman reminded the officer of his grandma, she replied humorously that she reminds everyone of their mom or grandma. Officer Hoffmeister goes above and beyond and gives her a phone number to reach him so that she can call on him anytime when she needs a ride. This is an example of true community and value of the elderly. We are taught by God to honor our elders. This officer does an exemplary job of that.”You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:32
