Stuff like this made being police officer worth it!

There are a lot of good reasons to work as a police officer. However, unfortunately police are leaving the profession in large numbers because of lack of support and the anti-police rhetoric. That's not good because we need police, and we need good police.
I responded to a home invasion in progress one night and a little girl there was terrified. I did my best to say the right words to bring some comfort and peace to her. What happened six months later almost brought tears to my eyes. Moments like this are what can make the job worth it, but when it is time to go, it's time to go...just make sure it's to pursue an opportunity, not because you're just trying to run away from a negative emotion.
