A Wisconsin sheriff's office fielded an unexpected call recently from a 10-year-old child, who called in to ask for help on their math homework. The child reached longtime dispatcher Kim Krause when they dialed 911, and after informing the child the emergency line isn't for homework help, Krause offered to assist nonetheless. When she realized she couldn’t help, she found a deputy who could; Chase Mason happened to be available and in the right place at the right time. Mason stopped by the child’s home and helped them with their homework. County Sheriff George Lezner said "Cops are there to help people and especially the youth. I don't want our youth to ever be afraid of law enforcement. I want them to continue knowing that law enforcement is there to help them."
