While our role is to protect and serve, some of the most meaningful moments come from simply being there for members of our community who need support and encouragement.
Our Association's mission is to serve the community both on and off duty, and we were honored to spend time with Nicholas and his family today.
Please join us in wishing Nicholas a speedy recovery. 💙 👮‍♂️
