You show myself and 395-51 to that signal eight.
Twenty-two-year-old Black male
with special needs, he's 4-foot-2,
last seen wearing a gray shirt and a red basketball shorts.
He can't function on his own.
He's got the mind of a 13-year-old.
If we go westbound Osborne,
that'll put us four blocks north of where he left from.
Any missing person is important,
but when it's somebody that's mentally challenged
or has any kind of disabilities, we take that very serious
because that person doesn't have the ability
to take care of themselves.
And the time lapse is 40 minutes now.
It's late at night. It's dark out.
It's not the best area of town.
We just started circulating the neighborhood
within a few blocks from home.
Hey, circle through this library real quick.
He might have been here.
It's nice and lit up, might feel safe here.
Tyler. Tyler.
Hey, is somebody walking over there?
Is there?
Look, in the white shirt along the fence ...
-Yeah, there is. -... on the back side.
There is.
It looks like a gray shirt and red shorts [BLEEP].
-Yep, it does, a little guy. -Yeah, there's a little person.
Oh, my god, this is going to be him.
-[Indistinct] -Where did he go?
[Indistinct] at 21st Ave.
See up by the tree ... There he is. Found him.
That's him. Hey, Tyler!
How you doing, buddy? You're not in trouble, man!
Give me high five.
Your family is worried about you, buddy.
-They all hate me. -No, they don't.
They love you very much. That's why they wanted ...
They called us to help find you
because they're worried about you.
Who do you live with?
My sister.
I think she's on her way to come get you, okay?
-She's mad at me. -I know, but that's okay.
That happens sometimes.
My sister gets mad at me sometimes.
You just got to talk about it with them.
You work it out, or else it's not going to go away.
You know what I'm saying?
I just had to take a break.
Everybody needs a break now and then.
You're not going to arrest me, are you?
No, man!
No, buddy, we're not going to arrest you.
You're not in trouble.
It kind of broke my heart for a second
because he said it with such a sad face, "Am I in trouble?"
And I was like, "No, man, you're not in trouble at all."
Hey, how you doing? I'm Officer Rose.
Hello.
He said he was just walking off some steam
because his sister got mad at him,
and he wanted to take a break.
Yeah, yeah, and I'm his sister. He scared me, man.
He's all right, ma'am. He's good.
You can't do that.
He just needed a break, he said.
You can't do that, okay?
Please don't never do that again.
I can't even imagine being in his family's shoes,
missing my sibling or my son, for instance.
And you going to promise me you're not going to do it again?
Can you pinkie promise?
In the middle of the night, not knowing where they're at
and not knowing if they're scared
or if they're in harm's way or what's going on.
-Sure. See you later, buddy. -Thank you, ma'am.
-Be safe, okay? -Thank you.
You're welcome.
-No, thank you, guys. -Have a good night. All right?
Thank you, guys. Take care, young man.
-Thank you. -Yep.
Huge sense of relief that we found this guy
and he was unscathed. It was a really good moment.
Like a feeling we're on fire, dude, NBA 2K, he's on fire!
"Just go turn and go drive
through the parking lot of the library."
I love it, bro. When you say something like that,
and you're so confident, bro, I'm ...
I swear to God I dial in and ...
We see so much negativity.
We see so many people breaking the law all the time
that when we do see somebody that's truly innocent,
that's a good person, that's kind-hearted ...
-Are we G2G? -Yeah.
... you're attracted to that.
We want to build a relationship with that person.
-Hello! -Hey, Jasmine.
-Hey! -Hello!
-What's up, Tyler? -Hi.
-How you doing, buddy? -Good.
-What's up, man? -You doing good?
-Yeah. -Hi!
Good to see you, man.
How's everything been since we last saw you?
-It's going good. -Yeah? Everything is going good?
It's more of a sense of accomplishment to
help somebody in that situation
than it is to arrest a bad guy that's breaking the law.
Are you going to be going to school?
I don't go to school anymore.
We're trying to get him in a Publix.
He volunteered at the Publix in West Palm.
Okay, I shop at this Publix over here, man.
I'd love to be able to see you in there.
That'd be awesome.
We see so much of the ugly side of humanity,
and when we actually get to help somebody who needs our help,
it feels good,
and for that, we're actually grateful for those moments.
Take care, brother. Hey, nice meeting you kids.
Take care of all these women, okay?
Tyler, take care, buddy. All right.
Yeah. He has to be the man of the house.
-Take care of them. -Thank you, guys.
See you later, have a good night!
Bye!
Bye.
That's a good little family there.
We got to check on them, make sure they're good.
Yes, keep in touch.
You got to balance the good with the bad every night.
It makes you remember
what it means to wear this badge.
