Why is this Important?
The work that law enforcement does to protect us does not come without consequence to them. Their work is often taken for granted and overlooked. No one truly understands what these officers go through to allow us to sleep peacefully and safely in our beds each night. At both the federal and local level, law enforcement workers take on burdens and make sacrifices each and every day. Faith can help negate these impacts, and it is important that there is a strong faith structure for all law enforcement.
