Yes they do, and the consequences for not doing it should be sure, swift, and severe!

2024 was a tough year for officers being killed in the line of duty. 144 total, 49 by gunfire, 11 by vehicular assault. Let's hope 2025 is a better year.

Having a new administration that supports LE should make 2025 a happier New Year.

This is kinda a wrong time for me thing.

My son had to put his K9 partner down today (cancer). One of the kids posted a tribute to him. Anywhere from him hanging from a bite-sleeve, to being dressed up in a a pink shirt and hat, to wearing a MAGA hat in the back of the patrol car..

I got a lump in my throat, and then I thought of how sad the kids must be. Made it worse. Now I need to put eyedrops in my eyes.
