Candland and his partner, Carlos Chorens, knew they needed to intervene when they first encountered the feeble, homeless 75-year-old woman. Brazdovic didn't ask for the officers' help, but they stayed anyway, asking questions of her and a man she considered her caretaker. The officers spent another full day with Brazdovic and her companion before Fletcher was able to find a place to shelter them. "She was shivering then, and it was 60 degrees that day," Candland said. The officers and Fletcher didn't give up.
