Deputy Tyler Dailey

Every so often, we get messages from people like you, who have such a positive interaction with our Deputies, they have to share it.

This week, we were sent a wonderful message from Jessica about a Deputy. Jessica was stuck on the side of 136 in Whiteford. She wasn’t sure who the Deputy was, but we were able to determine it was Deputy Tyler Dailey.

“Dear officer,
You passed us as we were stopped on the shoulder. You turned around and asked if we were ok (Our daughter (18 mo) had gotten carsick and vomited). Once you understood why we were stopped on such a busy road, you asked if we needed wipes to clean her up. I had wipes but mentioned I was worried about not knowing where we could stay pulled over safely and not get hit. You see, we were a little lost and unfamiliar with that area.

I was so nervous being out on that road, I forgot to get your name to say thank you. I was only thinking of getting our daughter home and so I “waved thanks” — not nearly enough for what you did. Not only did you take the time to stop, but you also offered wipes, pulled behind us with your lights on to keep us safe, then merged first into traffic so we could pull safely away from the shoulder.

Some may say this is your job, but you didn’t have to take your time to help. You could have asked if we were ok then drove on. You had a smile and your presence was a comfort to us in a stressful moment.

Sir, to you we say THANK YOU!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for stopping and staying with us. Thank you for waking each day determined to help others and keep us safe. The world we live in is a crazy place, with violence or distrust directed toward our first responders. Stories like these need to be shared to change perspective. You all risk your lives for us and don’t get enough praise.

I hope one day I see you in person so I can shake your hand and say thanks in person. May you be safe all your days.
Sincerely,
Jessica”
