Most Recent Reflection
View all 4 ReflectionsSouthern Missouri was a wild place in those days often called the Rackensack, a term for "wilderness".
The life of police officer would, without a doubt, be stressful in that sort of setting.
Medicine, transportation, assistance, communication would all be very slow in those days, the 1890's.
But, things have changed in many ways here in the 21stC.
And, that's a part of what any officer back in the day or now bring to the table....the sense of organized commuity, of improving community. We work to serve and preserve. May God Bless the sacrifice these heroes make for all of us.
