Gulf Shores Police Officer Timothy Hester didn’t think twice—he saw a struggling mom in need and stepped up. Instead of just offering words, he paid out of his own pocket to put gas in her car, ensuring she could pick up her kids without added stress.
This is what law enforcement is all about—compassion, service, and making a difference one act at a time. Officer Hester was named Patrol Officer of the Month for his kindness, but for him, it was never about recognition.
This is the heart of the badge. 👏💙
