A SEASONAL THANK YOU TO ALL POLICE OFFICERS

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our visitors a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year!

At this time, it is all too easy to forget that our police officers are out there selflessly serving, away from their homes and families, ensuring we are protected and able to enjoy our festivities safely and peacefully.

We would like to take a few moments to thank those officers who are working over the holidays.

Police officers confront and overcome obstacles every day at the risk of their own lives to benefit our communities, and we owe them a massive debt of gratitude for their efforts.

Please spare a few appreciative thoughts for our police officers.

I have been where you fear to go...

I have seen what you fear to see...

I have done what you fear to do...

All these things I’ve done for you.

I am the one you lean upon...

The one you cast your scorn upon...

The one you bring your troubles to...

All these people I’ve been for you.

The one you ask to stand apart...

The one you feel should have no heart...

The one you call the man in blue...

But I am human just like you.

And through the years I’ve come to see...

That I’m not what you ask of me...

So take this badge and take this baton...

Will you take it? Will anyone?

And when you watch a person die...

And hear a battered baby cry...

Then so you think that you can be

All those things you ask of me...?

So often we take our freedoms for granted.

We forget those who put their lives on the line every day to ensure our safety and freedom.

Police officers do more than enforce the law; they serve and protect. Every day, officers go to work not knowing the challenges they will face, but they do know the danger every challenge will bring.

Rather than think of danger, officers think of courage. They selflessly work to make this country a safer and freer society.

Police officers sometimes have to make difficult choices. They have to protect those who want to do harm. They do it because they believe in the law. Justice has to be enforced, and they have answered the call of duty.

Police officers dedicate their lives to preserving justice and safety for us all in this country.

They continue to protect us from danger and risk their own lives in the process. We should pay tribute to police officers for the sacrifices that they make in the name of freedom.

"They are our soldiers of humanity. When the devil roars, they shield us from evil".

Wishing you all a safe, peaceful and enjoyable Christmas.

To each and every one of you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
