This month I completed my final shift as a police officer. I have mixed feelings about ending this nearly ten years long journey.

I leave with a treasure trove of lifelong friends and invaluable life lessons.
Many have speculated as to why law enforcement agencies are struggling to recruit and retain. The most prominent theory posited by law enforcement is the lack of community and political support, as evidenced by the “defund the police” movement. Oftentimes it is said that perception is reality. In this case, I categorically reject this truism as it applies here.
