  • I think this is awesome, I know a couple of the officers and the need for them to maintain respect from younger generations is extremely important. A lot children now days see their parents or freinds getting hauled away and no matter what it is always the officers fault.

    I have never been hauled away and have had several tickets and pullovers (all where my fault) My hat goes off to every Law Enforcement Person out there who is willing to risk there lives for those who could care less about anything.Let alone the officer.

    God be with them in the line of duty
