The Ride-Along

I recently had the opportunity to go on a ride-along with an officer from a local police department. For some reason, I just knew it was going to be an exciting evening; so much so, I left the American Legion early. Once my butt hit the sit of the officer’s patrol car, the lights and sirens were on for the next 3 hours straight.

It played out like a movie: It began action-packed with a couple of fights, there was a slight lull in the middle, and the ride-along climaxed (and subsequently ended) in a foot pursuit. By far, this has been the most exciting evening this year!

For those men in blue or brown protecting our neighborhoods and cities, I thank you for everything that you do!
