This is National Police Week, and it is always the week of May 15th, which is National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
Each year we try to show our appreciation by feeding our law enforcement partners.
Often we try to cook for them at their Offices but we are a little short staffed this week, so we went with a variety of pizzas.
Please keep our fallen officers in your prayers, and if you see a police officer, thank them for doing a very difficult and often thankless job.

This week is Dispatcher Appreciation Week. Emergency (911) dispatchers are the first people you talk to when you call with a crisis. Even though dispatchers can't see what’s happening, they are the eyes and ears of emergency responders—our guiding angels who ensure that the right responders get to an emergency as fast as possible, and who keep responders safe as they help people in crisis.
