NLPD officer went extra step to help

March 01, 2021 11:00 pm • Last Updated: March 02, 2021 4:17 pm

I write in praise of special helpfulness by a member of the New London Police. On Saturday, Feb. 20, I drove my wife from Mystic to the Jennings School to get her second virus vaccination. I had the trip planned, including turning onto Hempstead Street, but I missed it and went too far down Truman Street instead. We asked officer Deana Nott, who was parked nearby, how to get back to the Jennings School. She started to tell us but decided it was too complicated, so she escorted us right into the school parking lot. So, we still got to the school two minutes before my wife’s appointment, and everything went with 100% efficiency.
