Officers Touched By Child's Thank You Note For 'Saving Us From Bad People'

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A simple, handwritten thank you note to police officers from a child after they removed a wanted criminal out of a rough Garland neighborhood, has touched officers.

A Dallas Police officer posted a photo of a smiling child holding up a sheet of paper with the message, "thanks for saving us from bad people."

This came after officers arrived in the child's Garland neighborhood on Tacoma to arrest a parole violator who lives nearby.

Nicholas Pallett has history of drug and previous arrests for assault and making threats.

Officer Frederick Frazier tweeted a photo of the girl with the thank you card they received and called it, "absolutely priceless."
