7, 2003 - 11:30am - Unit #02 was in the drive thru of a Rally's
restaurant in downtown St. Louis when he heard someone yelling "Help!
Call an ambulance!". 02 got out of his car and ran around the
corner of the building, where the voice was coming from, and saw
two teens with skateboards. One teen was laying on the ground with
a very obvious broken leg. 02 kept the teen still and called for
an ambulance. He stayed with the teen until the ambulance arrived
and took him to the hospital. 02 then got back into his car and
got the food he had ordered.

7, 2003 - 12:15pm - Unit #02 was exiting onto Bowles Ave. from westbound
I-44 when he noticed a traffic jam and a tow truck with its lights
on ahead of him by the traffic signal. As he got closer he could
see a stalled car behind the tow truck blocking the right lane.
He also noticed a police officer standing next to the tow truck
attempting to stop traffic for the tow truck driver. 02 did not
see a police car and neither did the other motorists so they were
just driving around the officer and honking at him. When 02 got
up to the tow truck he turned on his lights and blocked the lane
for the officer. He remained there for a minute until the tow truck
driver hooked up the car. As 02 was driving away he saw where the
police officer had parked his car. It was in front of the tow truck
so no one could see the car or the red and blue lights until after
they passed it.

24, 2003 - 7:30pm - Unit #220 assisted a motorist with a flat tire
on westbound I-44 east of mile marker 111. 220 was traveling to
Branson, Missouri when he noticed a vehicle pointed eastbound on
I-44 with it's hazard lights on. 220 decided to check on the vehicle
since it was dark out and wanted to make sure there was nobody inside
the vehicle waiting for help. Two adult females and their children
were in the vehicle and there was a flat tire on the driver's side.
220 first offered a cell phone to the driver but she already had
one. 220 then offered to change the tire for her. The two ladies
talked it over and agreed to let 220 help them out. 220 drove his
truck through the grassy median and parked his truck (lights on)
behind the ladies' car and started to change the tire. After he
changed the tire, he placed the flat tire and the ladies' belongings
into the trunk of the car and gave the driver his REACT business
card.
