Dear Chief Crawford,
I'm writing to express my thanks and to commend officers from the Bozeman Police Department
for the service they recently provided to me following a serious vehicle accident I was involved
in.
On July 9, 2019, 1 was driving west bound on Kagy Boulevard just after 4:45 p.m. near the
Museum of the Rockies, when a driver heading east bound on Kagy jumped the median and t-
boned the Chevy Avalanche that I was driving. Officers from the Bozeman Police Department
arrived on the scene to assist, along with members of Bozeman Fire Truck 3 and Engine
Companies 1 and 2 and Battalion 1, and the MSU Police Department. The accident was so
severe that the officers on the scene needed to use the 'jaws of life' to get me out of my vehicle.
I am recovering from serious bruises and three broken bones in my left foot. In my encounters
with your officers they were courteous, kind, very empathetic to my situation, and helpful. We
should be very proud to have officers of this caliber serving our community.
While I extended my thanks to your officers at the scene of the accident, I would appreciate if
you would do so, again, on my behalf.
Sincerely,
George L. Metcalfe
