Courtney's Case: A Welfare Check

A welfare check is a non-emergency service provided by law enforcement to check on the well-being of an individual who may be in distress or facing potential harm. The only way for officers to complete their duty is to physically see Timothy's wife and his children. When police arrived, it was 6 p.m. There was one cruiser, two officers. They walked to the front door. They knocked. And then much to Courtney's surprise, this time someone answered.
