Last week, a 10-year-old boy in Shawano County, Wisconsin, made an unusual 911 call hoping to get some help with his math homework. According to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office, the boy explained that he needed assistance with decimal-related math problems, as his family “wasn’t very good at math either.”
Deputy Chase Mason was dispatched in response to the call and although he admitted in his report that he was “not overly proficient when it comes to math,” he worked with the student to solve the problems. Together, they tackled the homework, turning the unexpected call into a successful collaboration. The deputy’s willingness to help the young man is in keeping with the department’s commitment to supporting the community.
Before leaving, Deputy Mason gave the boy a business card and reminded him to use the non-emergency line the next time he needed help with his homework. The Sheriff’s Office later shared the story on social media, praising Deputy Mason for his kindness and dedication, and calling the interaction a valuable teaching moment for the boy and the community.
