Most Recent Reflection
View all 107 ReflectionsI think it’s extremely brave and courageous to still respond to a call while you just finished up your shift. I can only begin to have an idea about what the family was feeling my prayers are with them. It just shows that as someone new into law enforcement that I have big shoes to fill and a legacy to live up to bigger something bigger than myself
