Individual Expresses Deep Gratitude to Glendale Police for Life-Saving Intervention

Brian Peters, an individual who had struggled with addiction and was facing severe personal and legal challenges, expressed profound gratitude to the Glendale Police Department, particularly Chief Colby Brandt. Peters detailed his past struggles with meth and fentanyl addiction, stating he had lost everything, including his children and any sense of hope. He highlighted that the consistent compassion and respectful treatment from Glendale officers during his arrests were instrumental in his decision to seek change. An officer even assisted him by finding and writing down contact information for treatment centers when he asked for help. Peters is now clean and sober, has been sober for 15 months, runs a sober living facility, owns a vehicle, and works for a treatment center. He has reconnected with his children and credits the Glendale police officers with saving his life and enabling his positive transformation. He presented Chief Brandt with a one-year sobriety coin as a symbol of his appreciation.
