In most cases, law enforcement agencies have a bad reputation with the people and the press. Several controversial events cast the police in a bad light.
However, there is something that inspires officers in blue. They came out to show their desire to protect and serve the citizens.
The Sea of Blue is a community organization that supports police in Cleveland, Ohio. The group has officers from three different cities looking to spread some joy.
Officers purchased $1,200 worth of toys and gave them to random children. May Jo Graf, the group’s founder, says the events aim to strengthen police-citizen relations. Most people interact with the police during emergencies or difficult times.
On September 22, a group of Connecticut officers took to the streets to raise awareness about domestic violence. In addition to saving a life, the police can also save you from embarrassing situations. A 92-year-old man has caused a stir by protesting that he cannot withdraw money from his account. It turns out his card had expired and Officer Josette helped the old man renew his identity.
