He added that the folks in need at the shelter are just unlucky and deserve the respect and dignity of everyone else. He said he has done overtime shifts at Noon Day before and has developed a relationship with some of the people who go there.
Nadas was going to serve a morning shift as part of the Chief’s Overtime Program, which employs off-duty officers who are paid by private or nonprofit businesses for security or other services.
Police said Nadas did not tell anyone about the act, but that another officer brought it to light. Noon Day also issued a news release thanking Nadas for his kindness.
