What Kind of Person Takes That Job? #MotivationalVideo

Jan 9th is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

As a Chief of Police, I have a first row seat to watch the incredible work our police officers do on a daily basis in our community. I was recently reviewing some messages about work done by our police officers which included:

1. An employee donating a bed, sofa, chairs, TV, and a number of other items to a person who was previously homeless and had recently moved into an apartment.
2. Extensive investigation that led to the apprehension of a dangerous domestic violence suspect.
3. Outstanding teamwork by five officers that led to pulling a person to safety prior to jumping into the river.
4. A detective who worked through the night to assure proper information was gathered for a search warrant application that led to the arrest of individuals connected to a large scam ring.
5. Personal and compassionate delivery of information regarding a homicide case by our Detective team.
6. Incredible work done by an officer working with homeless individuals in our community.
7. Officers working with a local family to assure they had housing prior to Christmas. Then, they went above and beyond and made sure there was a Christmas tree, decorations, and gifts at Christmas for that family.

These are just some of the examples I am aware of in the last two months. In an environment in which it can be very difficult to be a police officer, I watch as our team navigates great difficulties with professionalism, compassion and grace. They serve our community with pride. I am incredibly blessed to be here working with them. Today, and every day, I am grateful for their service to our community.

I hope you enjoy this video.

I heard a story about a cop. He had a wife and three children. He was sent to someone's house because there was some kind of fight happening. When he shows up he heard gun shots. He immediately ran into the house to defend the innocent people in the house. The police man was shot in the chest and died in the hour. This man put his life in front of others. He didn't even know them, but he died for them. This man was a true hero. God rest his soul. And God protect the boys in blue.

Love and far too many need to remember that officers don't go to work every day to earn the respect from the people that hate or for the money. Officers will risk their lives to save you, and it doesn't matter if you hate or love then its done all over again the next day until God is ready to have a chat...
..👁 got your 6...Always!

We have to stand up for our law enforcement. I'm beyond disgusted with the way they are being treated and had to take a stand in my community

It is a treasure to know that this video was filmed in the town of my families origin. Though my parents moved away long ago and we lived away. My grandparents live in Wausau. Ive spent a great deal of my childhood in Wausau. It is even more meaningful seeing the shots of these officers on streets I've walked. It sends a message that they caretake what we take for granted. Thank you for your service.

God bless our true American Super Heroes. No police officer should ever loose his life. We need to honor these great men. They are the only people that protect us while not getting any protection. That's why we should honor these greats. God bless and protect all our BLUELIVESMATTER heroes.

We need to respect our law enforcement agencies, I am disgusted by the thing that officers get shot and killed in the line of duty from these shootouts, god bless to the fallen officers and living.

People have no idea with law enforcement officers go though everyday and the horrible things they see the people that treat them like trash . But when they need help they call the same people . Next time you see a police officer just say thank you, it will make there day .
