Being part of the Thin Blue Line family was, and still is, a significant part of my life. I know what those who put their lives on the line for us and their families go through every day.

The dangerous Defund The Police ideology subscribed to by today’s Democrat Party has caused serious crime and homicides to skyrocket faster than at any time in American history.
