The recent increase in physical attacks (including homicides) on police officers across the country bothers the heck out of me.
So I ask, have you ever said thank you to a member of law enforcement? And not just when they have done something that affects you, but just for the heck of it. If you happen to be around and see an officer pumping gas, grabbing a snack or a meal, just go up to them and say "thank you". It takes two seconds but you'd be surprised at what those two little words will mean to them.
Here in Shawnee we are fortunate to have a pretty gosh darned good PD. Let them know they are appreciated
