Celebrating National Law Enforcment week
Remember when you call the police to report a car going through a stop sign, or someone speeding and almost hitting your vehicle, or maybe it’s just something you feel that the police need to address, they will, because it’s their job and they are there for you.
Also remember that when you’re being stopped for one of those things noted above, please don’t ask the police officer if they have anything better to do.
National Law Enforcement Week was May 12-18 for all those law enforcement officers that have given the ultimate price to keep us safe.
