• They were right on to the burglaries last week. They do need our help finding the 'druggies' in the community. We could commit to helping them and not hiding the fact they are here. Just sayin'...
• I think of all the hours they put into managing the crowds at DJJD and am grateful. But I also appreciate their work in the schools and just the daily patrolling they do with business checks and investigations. Thank you, officers and dispatchers.

However there are some stuck up ones and think they are better than everyone else. Remember people, they are human, just like us don't be intimidated by them. Nobodys perfect!
