In a heartwarming incident in D’Iberville, Officer Emily Chapman’s compassion and initiative recently made a significant impact on a young man’s life.
Officer Chapman was called to the scene of an accident involving a bicyclist and a motor vehicle. While the young man involved fortunately sustained no injuries, his bicycle, which served as his sole means of transportation to and from work, was completely destroyed.

Motivated to help, Officer Chapman sought assistance from the community and successfully secured a replacement bicycle for the young man. Her actions ensured he could continue his work routine without interruption.
