My forever hero

Police officers take risks and secure the safety of fellow citizens, and they endure such risks and tolerate such inconveniences on behalf of strangers. Consequently, police works is one of the more noble and selfless occupations in society. Making a difference in the quality of life is an opportunity that policing provides and few other professions can offer.For me, no one in my family is in the military or is a doctor or a cop. But just recently me and my mother were driving to the eye doctor. The speed limit was 50 and she was driving 60. And well she got pulled over, by my hero. To me a hero is a police officer, the military, fireman, doctors, anyone that puts someone’s else’s life before there’s.

 

An ordinary person facing extraordinary circumstances and acting with courage, honor, and self-sacrifice. A police officer… Bravery is not the absense of fear but action in the face of fear. To clarify, police officers are my hero for (3) unquestionable worthy reasons. They have so much courage. They honor the thin blue line.They sacrifice their life for people that hate and love them   

  

They have unlimited courage…On November 9, 2017, Corporal Dustin Jackson, Detective Mike Slater, Officers Scott Reid, and Lucas Parker were engaged in a standoff on Manor Court with an armed and wanted suspect, who had barricaded himself inside his home for a period of several hours. Without annoyance, the suspect exited his home and opened fire with a shotgun, shooting both Cpl. Jackson and Officer Reid, and injuring Cpl. Jackson badly. All four officers returned fire in the suspect’s direction to successfully hitting the suspect back into the residence out of community harm. Disregarding personal safety, Det. Slater and Officer Reid, while ignoring his own wound, began the extraction of Cpl. Jackson from the area of danger while Officer Parker provided cover. Commander Jason Bellamy, already on scene, assisted with the medical triage of the badly wounded officer, all the while providing leadership, direction, and control of a chaotic situation in a hostile environment.

 

They honor the thin blue line….The Oath of Honor provides the law enforcement profession with a concise, powerful and universal process by which officers can affirm and regularly reaffirm their ethical values and beliefs. This compressed oath summarizes police standards in a simple statement allowing itself to endless and acceptable application in both public and professional environment. It is easily traditional, understood, and remembered. On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution, my community, and the agency I serve.

 

They sacrifice their life for other civilians…No matter if the people hate them or not they will always be there to protect them no matter what. The nobility and courage that the police officers is putting forth in order to make such a huge sacrifice. This courage is much like the courage that is shown in the sacrifice of lives today for others.

As has been noted, police officers are my hero. I love my family with all I got but when it comes to the definition of the word hero in my opinion they don’t fit into that category. An ordinary person facing extraordinary circumstances and acting with courage, honor, and self-sacrifice. A police officer… While we sleep the guardians of the night take to the streets. Having said goodbye to those they love, each other knowing they may never say these words again. They face the evil that we run from. They dedicate their lives to those that would hate them because they wear the badge… They wear this badge not for glory or recognition but because they were born to honor The Thin Blue Line.
