An El Paso police officer is being praised for a small act of kindness captured on video.

The officer, Manny Alvarez, was working an off-duty job at the Walmart at 10727 Gateway Blvd. W. on Tuesday when he purchased groceries for Diocese of El Paso Bishop Mark J. Seitz’s father at around 9:30 p.m.

Alvarez, a 19-year veteran of EPPD, is assigned to the Central Regional Command’s Community Services section. Walmart employees thanked Alvarez for the act and for his service.
