It’s National Police Week.

This is a time to recognize the valiant men and women who put on the badge and serve our local communities around the clock, each and every day of the year.

We honor their courage, integrity and commitment to keeping our neighborhoods safe. We also remember the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and keep their families in our thoughts.

Please join me in thanking all our law enforcement professionals for putting their lives on the line to protect our family, friends and neighbors. Their service should not go unnoticed.
