Holiday poetry by Post Falls PD

The Post Falls police department added a festive twist to the patrol reports its officers post on Facebook at the end of each shift. 

Here is the post that appeared on the department's Facebook page early Christmas morning:

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Post Falls

Officers responded to disturbances and physical brawls;

Patrol cars were driven through the city with care,

To entertaining service calls which they would later share.

Firefighters were nestled all snug in their beds;

While Officers dealt with intoxication and scratched at their heads;

An elderly woman, home all alone;

Requested an Officer call her on the phone.

The Officer obliged and eased her lonely mind;

Giving her comfort, simply by being kind.

Intoxicated brothers battered each other;

Damaging the residence that belonged to their mother.

Firefighters were awoken by the sound of code red,

A woman had fallen and injured her head.

They rushed to her side and provided her aid;

Back to bed she went and that’s where she stayed.

A cell phone was stolen by a Grinch with no heart;

Loose dogs eluded capture due to a big head start.

Alcohol, drugs and the improper cooking of a veggie;

Left two individuals feeling a bit edgy.

A 9-1-1 call brought Officers to this fight;

A night in jail is how one will spend the night.

A driver’s license was found abandoned and quite alone;

It was taken into custody and given a temporary home.

Suspicious garbage was mysteriously flying through the air;

The dumpsters were questioned but they didn’t seem to care.

As end of shift approached and they passed their shift on;

The Officers were thankful for their safety and the new dawn.

They leapt to their cruisers and as they drove out of sight;

You could hear them exclaim, “Merry Christmas to all and to all and good night!”

Ofc. B.S.
