 My name is Officer Rob Parks. I'm one of the four homeless outreach officers. We specialize in dealing with the homeless community in the city and county of Denver. On a day like today, with the weather being as cold as it is, I'll spend my day trying to find people in the nooks and crannies of Denver and try and get them connected with services. We offer them a way to get indoors, get them fed, try and get them off the street, and at the same time try and find out what the reasons are, some of the reasons that they might be on the street so that we can help them exit street life. We first and foremost try and make sure that they've got a plan. Even though it's it's cold today, it's gonna be colder tonight, and so in the initial discussion with them, we're talking to them about what they're trying to do for the rest of the day. Do they have a place to go? Do they have either a shelter to get into? Do they have somewhere where they can be safe and out of the weather? Once we've found out if they've got any plan at all, a lot of times we'll hand out the information packets. We've got different pieces of information to get them into services. Like I said, try and connect them to appropriate services if they need mental health care, we go that route. If they need immediate medical care, we go that route. And a lot of times people just need the information on what's available as far as drop-in centers, food centers, clothing centers, things like that. It's good to have the cops at least come and check on you, give you some sense of security. And you know, if you are in danger, at least you know somebody's coming through to make sure that you're okay. You know, you're not alone. It's good work. I like what I do. I think it's a calling to be involved in the work, and it's pretty fulfilling.
