Policing a free society is not a job it is only for those
zealous enough to help society function better, work with the community members to resolve budding
problems. May it be reporting of petty crimes, intervening in squabble which
might have resulted into a havoc if unchecked.
When a man or woman puts on a police uniform, they are highly
visible representatives of our government and who we are as a people. They
should be the epitome of our nation’s values. When police fail in this, we
all stumble. And once we fall as a nation, it takes a long time to get back on
our feet again.
Serving as a police officer also requires courage-both physical and moral. In many instances, the latter trait is more difficult than the former. Working odd hours, craving for holidays, playing with fire every
day, suffering from stress ailments are just some of the backdrops to a police
job.
Only in such a secure environment citizens can go about their
daily work and interactions knowing that should trouble arise, their police
will fairly and effectively “sort it out;” that order and justice will always
be well-served by fair and effective police officers, and that police leaders
will always be cognizant of our society’s “big picture.”
Thereby, we express our gratitude to the policemen of our
country serving with dedication and commitment towards the well being of our
citizens.
Thank You!
