Saving Lives

We don't think about it often, but the truth is, police officers save lives every day. Sometimes, it makes the news, like when a cop runs into a building to save a child, or when she puts herself in harm's way to protect the innocent or defenseless.

In fact, most officers will tell you one of the things they fear most is traffic.
