It’s Fan Mail Friday! Trooper Westphal’s supervisor received a call from a motorist expressing gratitude for his assistance with a flat tire. The motorist said Trooper Westphal went above and beyond by crawling underneath his vehicle to get the spare tire to drop down. The motorist commended Trooper Westphal and said he is exactly the type of person who should be training other officers. As a retired fire department lieutenant, the motorist said that Trooper Westphal would have made a really good firefighter!
