WHY I WEAR THE BADGE
Why I Wear the Badge is campaign where officers share their reasons for choosing a career in law enforcement. Several of of our officers have shared their stories. As you read them you’ll soon see how each comes from a different background and no two officer is the same. However, they are united in a common purpose which is the uncommon desire to serve.
