Weโ€™d like to highlight one of Prince George’s County Patrol Officers for his level of service and commitment to helping others.

Officer Gooding has established a rapport with a man named John over the last few years and wanted to help keep John warm as the temperatures drop. Since losing a loved one 10 years ago, John has not had a permanent home.

With the help of his generous family and friends,Officer Gooding was able to recently raise money to buy John several things he needs to include a heater, an air mattress, a jacket and hat, a tent, and a two-night stay at a hotel.

We salute you, Officer Gooding, for your dedication and passion to serve our community!

The Prince Georgeโ€™s County Department of Social Services urges anyone experiencing homelessness to head to a shelter, particularly during cold weather months. The hotline is 888-731-0999.
