(Grinnell, Iowa) – A call to the Grinnell Police Department last week about a woman who wanted to cross something off her “Bucket List,” resulted in a police escort. The Police Department was contacted by Sammi Bryan with St.Francis Manor/Sealand Park Hammond Center (an assisted living facility), with regard to a resident who was turning 100 years old and wanted to do some things she had never done and wanted to experience. One of those things was to ride in a Police car.

According to the Grinnell P-D’s social media page, Sergeant Chris Wray made contact with Bryan, and arrangements were made to pick up the resident, Dorothy Peak, from one of her appointments in a Police car and escort her back to the Hammond Center at St. Francis Manor.
