We are very proud of the work our Officers of the Month do in the community. Sometimes the little things can amount to big things!
“Stopped yesterday and played basketball for a few with some kids. Showed back up today in uniform for a little more. Just to see them smile, not believing that I actually stopped yesterday but that I came back today for more made my day. They told me I have new friends. Need some Advil now. Now start the short jokes.” – P.O. John Graves, CPF Officer of the Month, May 2017
