Most Recent Reflection
View all 8 ReflectionsI work for Office of Juvenile Justice. I'm a trainer for Officer Safety. I remind my guys that what we do is dangerous. Just because someone is young, doesn't mean they can't hurt you. Sometimes the young do stupid impulsive things. I link this page in my training to remind my people that yes, it has been a long time since someone in OJJ has passed in the line of duty, but you should stay on guard and vigilant. Just a few months ago, we had an officer shot at while just sitting at the gas station, so we are required to wear our vests anytime we go out in the field.
Stay safe, hopeful Walter is looking down on all of us and has our backs.
