The Good Cop
The Morning Call this morning paints a pretty portrait of Allentown police Sgt. Richard Mongilutz. It's also accurate. I've personally seen this guy in action on Hamilton Street, where he has been invaluable to small businesses that struggle every day. He is one of the Queen City's shining lights.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

Perhaps you might consider hosting "jobs" on your blog so folks desperate to find work might find a job.
Isn't he married to a locally famous person?
ReplyDeletei also know the officer mentioned. as complimentary as the article was, the man actually does even more.
ReplyDeleteAs one who both lives and works in the city, I see Officer Mongilutz all the time. Nice guy, no question. Definitely goes above and beyond call of duty.
ReplyDeleteHe's married to a judge, but let's not hold that against him. :-)

ReplyDeleteAre you at the Dent event in Hellertown?
Don't know anything about it.
ReplyDeleteThe article states that Officer Mongilutz has an "iconic moustache". Wow!!
ReplyDeletelove the guy. the fact that he's been there for 37 years is telling... total dedication to the city of allentown. we are lucky to have him.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Mongilutz is everything the article says and more. We could use more like him.
ReplyDelete"iconic moustache", must be. He bagged a judge so that moustache must be not only iconic but AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is top notch and a real asset to the City of Allentown.
ReplyDeleteThis should say a lot because IMO there isn't much to Allentown.
