View all 81 ReflectionsCpl. Canezaro, you were one the first police officers I ever met in my teenage life, you don’t know this but you were one of the people that inspired me to pursue a career in law enforcement. You don’t know what you did for me that day when you spoke to me at school. Now, 6 years later I’ve made my way into law enforcement. I just want to say thank you for extending your kindness toward me that day.
