Every member, of our extended family, plays an important role in our everyday lives and are critical to ensuring we are successful in carrying out our professional duties. Our families are the backbone of our department and without them we could not survive.
We are stunned that once again a senseless tragedy has impacted the lives of our children and our officers.
