Officer and Mentor

Duluth, Georgia, Police Officer Rolf Sei-ferheld earned some well-deserved praise for mentoring a six-year-old Georgia boy, born without leg bones or arms, who wants to become a detective. 

Seiferheld had the honor of meeting Harrison Humphries at the start of the year while on downtown patrol, and the two reportedly became fast friends, according to the Epoch Times. When Harrison told Seiferheld he wanted to work in a police department to “help people get better,” Seiferheld felt a kinship with the small child. Seiferheld told 11 Alive he lives by a similar philosophy: “Be kind, and treat people how you want to be treated. Show them the respect they deserve.” 

According to Humphries’ mother, Tara, Officer Seiferheld has been kind and encouraging to both Harrison and his brother. Seiferheld and Harrison have a weekly meet-up during Seiferheld’s downtown patrols, at which time Seiferheld talks to Harrison about life in law enforcement. Both Harrison and Seiferheld say it is the highlight of their week.
