By Katja Ridderbusch Sgt. Delroy Stewart, a patrol supervisor at the Brookhaven Police Department in Georgia, has seen a lot of things in his 30-year law enforcement career. But what he witnessed on a night shift several months ago surprised even him. An officer alerted colleagues to a burglary in progress near where they patrolled. Police cars were on the scene before the call was even dispatched, and officers took the man into custody. 'That was a really, really fast response,' said Stewart, who worked for the MTA Police Department in New York before signing up with Brookhaven 10 years ago.
