Constable Niran Jeyansean who is a police officer with the Toronto Police Department showed an 18 year old teen who was caught by a security guard at a Wal Mart, that not all police officers are monsters who get their jollies of beating up criminals.
The 18 year old teenager who stolen a tie, socks and a dress shirt since the teen had an interview to land a job that the next day.
When Constable Jeyanesan arrived at the Wal Mart to take the teen to jail on charges of shoplifting, the teen explained his side of the story saying that he only stole the clothes since he needed to dress nicely for an interview for a job to assist his families make ends meet.
Constable Jeyanesa decided to pay the cost of the clothes to the Wal Mart store so the teen could keep the clothes to attend his job interview the next day.
What made this story wonderful was that the teen was able to land his job after he impressed his employer in the interview.
The teenager’s father who was also unemployed thanks to help from his friends was also able to land a job to assist his family makes ends meet.
These types of good stories will not make it to the national evening news since it will not pay their bills to report what sells their shows. Bad news.
My salute to Constable Jeyanesan for buying the teenager his work clothes so he could go to his job interview on Monday and gain employment.
I am sure that we all wish that all police officers would be like him.
This is such a heart-warming story, and such an amazing police officer!
My pleasure to share this great heartwarming story from Toronto.
For example when I tried to work at Popeye’s Fried Chicken, they insisted I should wear a suit and tie. I turned their offer to be interviewed.
What a great thing he did for this young man. Probably changed his life.
I have heard of stories of some young men and women who credit a police officer to change their direction of life into a positive one.
It happens over and over and they are not recognized for it nor paid for it. They really should be paid a higher salary.
That is irks me about the news media. They seldom report the good news our brave men and women who patrol our streets deserve.
You are correct since it is understood that you or I are low level employees, we should wear modest clothing.
This is such a heart-warming story, and such an amazing police officer!
Officer Jayenesan is a very good police officer who does his part to serve his community.
This is a great story and this really is what people should do, help each other like that policeman.
I agree with you. It is too bad the media like to report the bad things police officers and teachers do these days.
It seems like the real problem here was the expectation that folks need to have a suit to get a job. That’s called a barrier to entry and it needs to be removed
You are correct since it is a problem for people who need jobs need to dress like they are executives for job interviews.
It is one thing to expect someone interviewing for a management position to dress up, but for an entry level job? That’s thinly veiled discrimination…
You have a very good point.
Even if we abolish all artificial barriers to entry, we still won’t have a level playing field but that is almost certainly the place we must start if we believe in equality…
