Police officer takes in teenager

For police officers, no day can be considered “routine”, as they come into contact with dozens of people on a daily basis, and sometimes, it doesn’t have a good outcome.

For one Valley police officer, however, one of his contacts involved a teenager facing an uncertain future, and that officer went above and beyond, when it comes to helping him.

BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY: Peoria officer, Brandon Sheffert, was on a routine patrol when he decided to stop 16-year-old, Anthony Schultz. He discovered Anthony had a rough home life, and decided to take him in as one of his own, changing both of their lives forever.
