DOTHAN: You never know the impact you have when you meet someone.
Recently a man came into the Dothan City jail and asked specifically for Sgt. Bill Banks. IN a few minutes Sgt. Banks came to the window and asked could he help him.
The man said yes and if he could not that he intended to take his own life ( commit suicide ). Sgt. Banks helped the man and got him medical intervention.
Only through his professional job with the Dothan City Jail did Sgt. Banks know the man. He had been arrested before. But the interaction apparently had made a positive impression on the man. He asked specifically for Sgt. Banks.
My HATS ARE OFF to Sgt. Banks. While being arrested and booked into the Dothan City Jail is not a bragging moment for anyone, the positive impact Sgt. Banks had made is a bragging moment.
Now I hesitated on this article because of the man's intentions. However, I felt a few points needed to be made:
(1) If you have thoughts of taking your life DO NOT and seek intervention. What this man did was the right thing to do.
(2) We never know what our interaction with someone will mean. And in Sgt. Banks it was a very positive impact.
(3) And Sgt. Bill Banks is a good man, who makes positive impacts on people's lives.
Job well done.
