Law enforcement is a proud, honorable, challenging, demanding, complex and rewarding profession. In North America there are over 800,000 men and women who have chosen to serve their community by taking the oath and putting on a badge and a uniform every day.
These proud men and women sacrifice greatly to provide 24 hour a day, seven day a week service to their communities. They miss holidays with their families so they can protect others. They miss school plays and birthday parties so they can serve. On their time off they continue to serve their communities as youth coaches, youth pastors and volunteers.
They are respected by many and vilified by some.
As a result of their commitment to serve they are assaulted, spit on, yelled at, and murdered. Many will die in car crashes responding to calls for service or responding to back up brother or sister officers. More than a dozen have died each of the last three years from heart attacks on duty. Over 150 will take their own lives every year because they are unable to cope with the trauma of the profession.
Be proud to be one of those who have chosen to serve your community and your country as a law enforcement professional.
Be proud to have the honor to train the brave men and women of law enforcement.
Be proud to wear the uniform.
Be proud to serve.
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
Take care.
