To the Editor:
The week of May 10 through May 16 is National
Police Officer Memorial Week, to honor those
that serve and that have made the ultimate
sacrifice. As we are reminded with the tragic
loss of Sgt. Greg Moore of the Coeur d’ Alene
Police Department, we are also reminded of all
the Officers that serve with valor and
distinction. In the years that I knew Sgt. Moore
he always had a smile on his face and a positive
attitude. My prayers are with his family and
fellow officers.
The same day of Sgt. Moore’s funeral, two
Mississippi officers were shot and killed during
a traffic stop. Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant
said it well, “This should remind us to thank
all law enforcement for their unwavering service
to protect and serve. May God keep them all in
the hollow of his hand.”
Law Enforcement is made up of different
uniforms, departments, and agencies, but they
all have a common goal of protecting and serving
the communities that they live in. The most
recent crime report for Idaho shows that 266 law
enforcement Officers in our State were assaulted
in one year.
If you have an opportunity please thank a law
enforcement Officer, Dispatcher, or Corrections
Officer for the job they are doing to make our
community a safer place.
