WHEREAS, Police Officers choose this noble profession because of their belief of an orderly
society. Officers put on their uniform each day, answer the call as their duty, and serve our community
daily not knowing what they will encounter during their shift, as many situations recently having a
catastrophic outcome. Daily, our Officers face a myriad of calls such as mental illness, homelessness;
gun violence; child abuse, racial disparity, and immigration issues to name a few while in some cases
officers may be facing these very issues within their families. Officers have always been held to a higher
standard and must be considered for the "human being"wearing the uniform. Officers are also parents,
grandparents, brothers,sisters, uncles, aunts....just as you and I. Let us thank them for choosing Policing
as they are our Lifeline to Safety and Security.
