Thankful Thursdays…For Our Police Officers

Kathy, thank goodness for our police force, and sure miss my previous neighbor.   He was over the detectives for Aurora, but moved to FL.

Yes so much gratitude is what we should all feel for those in Blue Kathy. Good for you that you have these hard-working family members helping their communities! 

Hello Kathy,  I did not know that many have died in the line of duty in 1 year.  I hope your family members will be safe.

Hi Kathy - those statistics are so sad.  It really angers me to hear some politicians talk of these heroes as if they are the enemy.  Thank you to your family that serves,

It is nice to see those on the left realize the constant beating up on the police is NOT helping them get re-elected.

A very sunny good morning to you Kathy Streib So true we must honor our police as well as emergency services providers. I sit on the local Sheriff Advisory Council here in Mohave County.  Sometimes the issue is county officials want to hire more non-essential personnel (here the County hired 2 people to educate citizens about vaccines) while the county sheriff department has the same number of deputies it had 30 years ago with 1/3 of the population it has today. 93,497 in 1990 while in 2020 the population is 213,267.

I am thankful and grateful for all of our brave police men and woman for serving our communities day in and day out.  They deserve our respect ++.  This is just a small thing but I've been noticing people are speeding more around Phoenix - not just a little more like 15 , 20 or more miles above the speed limit.  And there is a lot of swerving in and out of traffic making it more dangerous for everyone. Yesterday I saw the beginning of a crack down on speeders by officers - and it was a very welcome site to see.

Kathy we need to say thank you to our men and women in blue every chance we get.  They keep our communities safe for us all.

What a great way to say it the best:

Thank you to the many men, women, and canines who protect us 24 hours a day 7 days a week, no matter the weather or circumstances.

Hi Kathy,

Please let your brother know and your other family members know the deep respect and admiration I have for their service.  I have always said that those who put on the uniform and go into harm's way for us are Heroes.  It takes courage and sacrifice to put your life on the line for others.  Anytime I see a man or woman in uniform I go up to them and thank them for their service.  When I have Tristan with me I ask him to do the same.   Thank you for posting this and reminding us of our Heroes.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful tribute to law enforcement officers.  Their job is a tough one and I sure do not understand how they do it.

Law enforcement is a really tough job.  Especially, in today's world!  It's important to be grateful for their service.

Kathy what an awesome post, Diane's cousin' husband is a retired Boston Police Officer, their two sons are Boston Police Officers... one was an undercover officer when the Marathon Bomber caused all the damage... he was decorated by the then President and met him in the Oval Office, Endre

When we were dating Rick wanted to be a policeman like his uncle. I was terrified at the thought of it and changed his mind. His mother was not at all pleased with me at the time. Although I respect the people who choose that profession, I'm so glad he didn't do it.
