Thank you, I think.

A career criminal gave an unusual compliment to Westchester County police Lt. Maria Meliti Monday before being extradicted to Connecticut on a sexual assault charge.
“The man dealt with many of our officers over the weekend and said all the officers treated him nicely,” Meliti told me. “He said he’d been arrested many times over his lifetime and that ours was the nicest he ever dealt with. He said we treated him like a gentleman.”
Her response? “I told him I really appreciated that, that that was really nice to hear, and that I’d pass it along to the officers.”
Once she learned I was going to blog on this, she told me she didn’t want to take the credit, as nice as she is. It was Officer Robert Kelly who made the arrest, she noted. “He should really get the credit for this, not me, because he was the one the guy raved about.”

Wow!! That’s just wonderful!! It’s great to hear that the WCPD are treating crminals with such respect. Lt. Meliti should be proud of her officers..she’s such an aewsome leader. NOT!!!!
Consider our litigous society – there’s a dept that won’t be spending taxpayer money to fight suits alleging police brutality. Remember: innocent until PROVEN guilty.
