A detective in Pennsylvania was dispatched for a citizen assist —  a young man needed some help getting ready for his first school dance.

A mom called the police department saying that she had no idea how to tie a tie.

Detective Caruso then called in her partner, Officer Linebarger, who helped the young man, referred to as ‘Z.’

Officer Linebarger went to work to help the young man, making sure the tie was the perfect length, right at the belt line!

The Pitcairn Police Department shared the encounter on their social media page, saying that community policing is very important to the department and that it’s even more important that their citizens feel comfortable calling them even for small things, like tying a tie.
