It’s National Police Week. MNPEA recognizes there’s probably never been a more challenging time to be a Sheriff’s Deputy or Police Officer than now. Statistically the majority of the public wants more police, but there’s a very loud minority making it tough. Cries to defund the police, others wanting to tie your hands in use of force, cameras everywhere being used and the videos often edited to paint the worst! The physical dangers and legal snares have never been more prevalent, but everyday you go out and serve the public. You truly are the thin blue line. MNPEA salutes you and has your back.
