LogInAfter receiving a call to have a young boy removed from the neighborhood, Officer Colleran found himself a new teammate.
The Hapeville Police Department recently shared a heartwarming story involving Officer Colleran, who went above and beyond to surprise a young boy with a brand-new PlayStation 5 console. This kind gesture came about after the police received several calls requesting the boy's removal from the neighborhood.
In a Facebook post shared last week, the department detailed how Officer Colleran responded to the calls and arrived at the scene. Instead of taking action against the young boy, Officer Colleran spoke with him and learned that the boy wasn't up to no good and was in the area simply to do yard work, such as pulling weeds, cutting grass, and trimming hedges, in order to save up money for a PlayStation.
Being a gamer himself, Officer Colleran was deeply impressed by the boy's determination and ambition. Instead of removing the young gamer-to-be from the neighborhood, he decided to assist the boy in reaching his goal. Officer Colleran, along with some of his friends, took it upon themselves to ensure that the young man not only received a PlayStation 5 console but also a PlayStation Plus game catalogue so he could start playing right away.
A touching video shared by the department, attached above, showed the moment Officer Coleman opened his trunk to reveal the PS5 console. The boy was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, covering his face before warmly embracing the officer.
"The young man was polite, respectful, and truthful," reads HPD's Facebook post. "Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, was impressed with the young man and thought he would help him reach his goal. Officer Colleran made sure that this young man knew they would play on the same team online soon!"
