We just concluded National Police Week and in no other year has the remembrance of fallen police officers meant so much to those of us who support law enforcement.
America, quite frankly, is a pressure cooker.
There has been a global pandemic. A heated election. Racial unrest much of it police-related. An insurrection at the nation s capitol.
And through it all, police officers have had to deal with ridicule and scorn from much of the population.
In 2020, 362 police officers died on the job. In 2021 alone, over 100 have perished.
Each year, during National Police Week, our nation celebrates the contributions of law enforcement from around the country, recognizing their hard work, dedication, loyalty, and commitment to keeping our communities safe.
