The
Wheat Ridge Police Department would like to salute Officer Olexa for an
incredible act of selflessness and compassion. While on duty this past
weekend, Officer Olexa came across a single mother and her 2 children
(ages 6 months and 2 ½ years old) in front of a gas station. Concerned
because temps were in single digits, he asked the woman if they had a
place to stay to which she answered no. With
no other options available to the mother, Officer Olexa selflessly went
into his own pocket to purchase a room for the night for the mother and
her children. Officer Olexa made sure both children had WRPD teddy
bears to keep them warm and comforted, and made contact with other
community resources to help the single mother get back on her feet.
Officer Olexa truly is a shining example of “Exceptional People
Providing Exceptional Service”.
these are the people in law enforcement that give the job to protect and serve a good name. promoting this officer for his selfless act of kindness & sincerity should be priority numero uno...

Didn't realize how late i was to the pool. But i was in another state for the last few years and i wanted to see what was going on in my old stomping ground of Wheatridge and then i saw Officer Olexa's name and wanted everyone here to know that Officer Olexa is what an officer should strive to be and have not met a officer since that i respected as much as i did this man when i was working in Wheatridge and got to know him on a first name basis and not only was he a compassionate police officer he was also a bad mutha that was worried less about his safety then the safety of the people he was sworn to protect and when anyone puts their safety below anyone else, then i give credit where credit is due. So i think i saw you are a Sargent now and no one deserves it more then you and maybe i will stop by the station someday and say hello and also give him the thanks that he deserves and so seldom gets.

Most down to earth Officer that i have ever met and he was easy to approach and willing to give you a break if you were honest with him and would cut you a break if your reason for a traffic infraction was justifiable and were willing to do what he gave you that one chance to do.
