It's my birthday today which doesn't mean anything. It does mean that I am quickly getting to mandatory retirement from the police department. So far 39 years in August. "Okiegirl" started "going blue". Thank you, it means a lot when you see the support that people have for the people who try to protect them. If you want sobering facts suscribe to the Officer down memorial page (ODMP). About every other day an officer is killed in the line of duty. This year, up 11% from this time last year.
Where I live, calls for shots fired have skyrocketed. I personally know of 5 officers from our department who have been shot and survived. My first 6 months on the job, I was shot at 4 times. Be aware of your surroundings and stay safe. If you are a fellow officer, wear your vest. Don't take routine calls for granted and always take an 870 to a gun fight.
Okiegirl, thank you.
