So ... I'm riding/training (bike) this morning going north on Skull Valley Road, climbing up the hill to Skull Valley USPS.
A passenger vehicle pulls up alongside me.
Guy says: "Hi I'm Deputy {NAME) of Yavapai County Sheriff's Office."
I say: "Hey! Meet at USPS up ahead?"
He was on his way to work. We spent about half an hour just chatting. He mentioned he spoke to the driver of the truck that buzzed me on the 5th.
"He works at one of the local ranches. Nice conversation. Just told him to watch how he drives. He apologized. He's a good guy. Things should be better now."
With so many police body-cam vids on social media it would have been great if we recorded this interaction. Just to show how great and essential it is to have local police prove that they, too, are in the helping profession.
I'm not sure why but I felt proud of him. Real intelligence. Building strong sense of community
