AMERICAN POLICE BEAT: SEPTEMBER 2017 27 Hey kid, you didn’t put vodka in this, right? I’m actually on for another three hours. Texas police officer Deputy Con- stable Mark Diebold gets the VIP treatment during Evelyn Hall’s first birthday party. T exas police officer Deputy Constable Mark Diebold was on his way to work last year when he noticed a car that had passed him driving well over the speed limit. At the next light, Caleb Hall rolled down the window at the next traffic light to alert the Tarrant County police officer that his wife’s water just broke. A few minutes later in the parking lot of a gas station, Diebold helped Caleb and his wife Destiny deliver a baby girl. Since the birth of the Hall’s daughter Evelyn, Diebold’s been kind of like a favorite uncle. He even got invited to Evelyn’s first birthday tea party. “Itwasamazing,”Diebold told ABC News about tak- ing the photos. “It was heartfelt and it was a big deal. That photo shoot reminded me that police work is what I need to keep doing until it’s my time to stop.” And here’s a note from the photographer, Cyndi Williams: “I come from a long line of law enforce- ment. My grandfather, Law- rence Dasch, was a police officer in St. Charles Parish. My mother, BJ Elmore, is a retired police officer in St. Charles Parish. My sister, Michelle Verrett, is a police officer in Lafourche Parish, all in Louisiana.” Cutest party picture One year reunion T he National Orga- nization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NO- BLE) announced its part- nership with the SunTrust Foundation in an effort to connect communities with local law enforcement and build trust, knowledge and confidence. Through the SunTrust Foundation’s $150,000 grant, NOBLE will bring its “The Law and Your Community” program to the cities of Baltimore, Richmond and Atlanta, while also conducting NO- BLE Town Halls in these three areas. “The Law and Your Community” is a nation- ally recognized, hands-on interactive training pro- gram for young people (ages 13-18) and adults. It’s designed to provide standards for communica- tions with law enforcement and their understanding of their federal, state and local laws. The program, which is open to the public, aims to develop trust and un- derstanding between law enforcement and the local community. “On behalf of our NO- BLE executive board, chapter members, and the communities we serve, we thank the SunTrust Foun- dation for their partnership investment,” Perry Tarrant, the NOBLE national presi- dent, said during a recent press conference. Since 1976, the NOBLE has served as the conscience of law enforcement by being com- mitted to justice by action. NOBLE represents over 3,000 members internationally, who are primarily African-Ameri- can chief executive officers of law enforcement agencies at federal, state, county and municipal levels, other law en- forcement administrators, and criminal justice practitioners.
