The
second
week
in
May
is
nationally
recognized
as
police
officers
week
with
yesterday,
the
15th
as
Official
Police
Officers
Memorial
Day.
It
has
been
this
way
since
1962
when
it
was
established
by
Congress,
but
today
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
about
dragons
now,
I
know
what
you're
thinking,
what
do
dragons
have
to
do
with
Police
Officers
Memorial
Day?
Well,
quite
a
bit
and
I'll
explain.
B
But
it's
going
to
take
a
minute
if
you've
ever
been
to
my
cubicle
you'll,
see
that
it's
very
busy
there's
lots
of
things
on
the
walls
items
tchotchkes
from
different
vacations,
but
there's
one
particular
piece
of
paper
hung
up.
It's
been
aptly
named,
the
Ben
Meyer
flow
chart
see
most
people
go
from
A
to
B
in
a
straight
line,
because
it's
the
most
effective
and
efficient
way
of
doing
things,
but
not
me
I'm
more
of
a
Over,
the
River
and
Through
the
Woods
type
of
person.
My
A
to
B
is
much
longer
with
a
couple.
B
B
The
other
book
is
usually
a
classic
that
I
should
have
read
in
college
or
just
something
that
catches
my
eye
now
sure
I
could
go
to
the
library
and
check
out
these
books.
But
what
fun
is
that
where's,
the
adventure
I
like
to
go
to
thrift
stores
and
garage
sales
and
search
for
books
and
I've
done
quite
well.
My
favorite
thing
to
do
when
I've
done
is
to
put
them
in
those
free
little
libraries
that
are
scattered
all
throughout
town,
so
I
encourage
everyone
to
go,
find
one
near
you
and
take
advantage
of
it
anyway.
B
I
found
a
great
book
the
other
day
by
Jordan
B
Peterson
called
12
rules
for
life,
an
antidote
to
chaos.
When
the
book
is
excellent
and
I'll
recommend
it
to
anybody,
it
gets
a
little
wordy
at
times
and
you
really
got
to
concentrate
to
get
through
it.
It's
not
the
author's
fault
he's
Canadian,
it's
all
that
maple
syrup,
but
all
12
rules
in
the
book
will
help.
You
lead
a
better
life
but
I'm
going
to
apply
some
of
those
to
a
career
in
law
enforcement.
B
Take
number
nine
assume
that
the
person
you're
listening
to
might
know
something
that
you
don't
after
a
while
in
law
enforcement,
you
kind
of
see
it
all
and
a
lot
of
the
times
the
stories
and
situations
repeat
themselves
and
we
tend
to
deal
with
the
same
people
over
and
over
again
don't
get
caught
in
the
Trap
that
you
know
everything
take
the
time
to
really
listen
to
everyone.
You
come
in
contact
with.
B
You
might
be
surprised
at
what
you
learned.
That
also
goes
with
co-workers
and
family
and
friends.
Number
10.
pursue
what
is
Meaningful,
not
what's
expedient,
every
police
officer
in
America
already
does
this.
This
job
is
Meaningful.
It's
important.
It's
necessary,
isn't
the
easy
way
through
life,
but
it
does
provide
a
lot
of
satisfaction
and
fulfillment.
B
Number
three
make
friends
with
people:
the
law
enforcement
is
full
of
there's
a
profession,
that's
full
of
Alpha
and
type
A
personality
types.
So,
unfortunately,
when
it
comes
to
promotion,
it's
every
man
for
themselves,
sometimes,
but
no
matter
what
your
job
is.
The
end
goal
is
to
be
the
best,
and
your
co-workers
should
want
the
best
for
themselves
and
everything
around
them.
It
makes
your
organization
better
stronger
in
your
job
easier,
so
find
a
mentor,
don't
be
a
naysayer
you'll.
B
I
feel
that
I've
gotten
off
track.
That's
right,
I'm
supposed
to
be
talking
about
dragons.
So,
while
reading
this
book,
Peterson
used
many
different
references
and
cited
many
different
books
and
papers,
and
one
of
them
is
actually
a
children's
book
by
Jack
Kent
called
there's.
No
such
thing
as
a
dragon.
B
B
Billy
thinks
well.
If
it
doesn't
exist
and
there's
no
reason
to
pay
attention
to
it.
The
dragon
ends
up
growing.
Now
it's
the
size
of
a
dog
Billy
continues
to
ignore
the
dragon
and
it
keeps
getting
bigger.
It
fills
up
the
living
room,
Billy,
exclaims,
I,
didn't
know
the
dragons
could
grow
so
fast
again.
His
mom
States
Billy
there's
no
such
thing
as
a
dragon.
B
B
It's
the
dragon
said
Billy
his
mom
say
that
there's
no
such
thing,
but
he
interrupts.
There
is
a
dragon.
He
patted
it
on
the
head,
the
dragon
smiled
wag,
its
tail
and
as
quickly
as
it
grew.
It
shrunk
back
to
the
sides
of
a
kitten
Billy's
mom
exclaimed
I,
don't
mind
dragons
this
size,
but
why
did
it
grow
so
big
I'm,
not
sure
said
Billy,
but
I
think
it
just
wanted
to
be
noticed.
B
B
There
is
a
dragon
surrounding
law
enforcement
as
city
state
and
Township,
Township
budgets,
shrink
and
police
officer
positions
are
eliminated.
There's
less
cops
to
do
the
same
amount
of
work.
The
department
still
functions,
the
extra
work
gets
spread
around
the
rest
are
made
bad
guys
go
to
jail
and
it
seems
like
life
is
normal.
Everyone
ignores
it
and
the
Dragon
Gets,
a
little
bigger
retirement
and
health
care
benefits
are
removed,
pensions
disappear,
young
people,
look
at
their
options
and
think
maybe
this
stressful
job
isn't
worth
it.
B
If
I'm
not
going
to
be
taken
care
of
on
the
back
end,
but
911
calls
are
still
answered
because
the
cops
on
the
streets
are
doing
their
job
every
day,
but
people
ignore
the
Dragon.
This
goes
for
our
allies
as
well
prosecutors,
probation
officers,
parole,
Child,
Protective,
Services
Workers.
You
might
think
it's
a
different
situation,
but
it's
one
in
the
same
prosecutors
work
just
as
hard
as
we
do
sometimes
harder
and
their
paying
benefits
are
affected
the
same.
B
We
can
make
100
arrests
a
day,
but
without
an
adequately
staffed
prosecutor's
office
who's
going
to
charge
the
crimes
who's
going
to
bring
the
criminals
to
the
court,
probation,
parole
and
CPS
workers,
caseloads
increase
sure
they
can
function
and
keep
the
cogs
moving.
But
can
they
really
give
all
the
extra
clients
the
attention
they
deserve
when
more
is
piled
on
news
agencies
and
social
media
report
on
every
bad
cop
in
the
dumb
things
that
they
do
now
granted
America
has
a
right
to
know
about
the
bad
apples
in
a
bunch.
B
Nothing
upsets
me
more
than
a
rotten
apple.
Making
me
look
bad,
but
you
can't
assume
that
evil
is
in
the
heart
of
every
officer
that
hurts
or
kills
someone
newsflash
or
human
beings
too.
We
make
mistakes,
we
get
scared,
sometimes
a
fraction
of
a
second
is
all
we
get
to
make
a
decision,
but
the
stories
don't
focus
on
that
police
officer
does
dot
dot
dot.
That
headline
gets
clicks.
The
video
gets
shared
the
polls
get
liked.
B
B
B
B
Police
officers
are
taking
their
own
lives
at
an
alarming
rate.
This
profession
is
always
near
the
top
of
the
list
for
the
highest
rates
of
suicide
every
year
that
Dragon
stole
963
police
officers
from
2017.
Until
today,
in
the
last
many
years,
more
officers
take
their
own
lives
and
lose
them
to
violence
on
the
job.
B
B
This
is
a
lot
of
Doom
and
Gloom
to
talk
about
on
this
lovely
windy,
Tuesday,
but
I'm
not
going
to
stand
by
and
ignore
the
dragons
that
are
around
me
I'm,
going
to
look
them
in
the
eye,
Pat
him
on
the
head
and
get
them
down
to
size,
and
that's
why
we're
here
today
we
are
honoring
the
fallen
heroes
who
gave
their
lives
for
this
calling
in
America.
We
do
a
great
job
of
remembering
our
brothers
and
sisters
whose
watch
ended
earlier
than
it
should
we
all
remember
who
they
are,
who
they
were.
B
B
So
it's
homework
time.
You
all
need
to
stop
ignoring
the
dragons
that
are
hanging
around
citizens,
talk
to
your
local
politicians
and
let
them
know
they
need
to
focus
on
initiatives
that
will
get
quality
candidates
to
fill
these
positions.
All
the
peas,
police,
probation,
parole,
prosecutor,
Protective,
Services
Workers.
We
need
to
replace
the
positions
that
have
been
eliminated,
so
we
can
provide
a
level
of
service
that
they
deserve.
B
None
of
us
are
looking
to
drive
Maseratis,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
heroes
are
taken
care
of.
When
we
turn
our
badges
in
officers,
stop
ignoring
the
dragons
around
you.
We
are
all
trained
observers.
We
notice
everything
all
the
little
things:
the
body
language,
the
word
choices,
the
tone
of
voice.
You
know
when
something's,
not
right
out
in
the
field
you
can
tell
when
Joe
bad
guy
is
going
to
take
off
running
on
you
just
by
looking
him
in
the
eye.
B
You
also
know
when
something's,
not
right
with
your
shiftmate
or
your
co-workers,
don't
ignore
that
dragon
talk
about
it.
Talk
to
someone!
Anybody
and
no
telling
War
Stories
over
beers
doesn't
count
cops
hate.
The
f
word,
but
we
have
to
talk
about
our
feelings
and
that
Dragon
got
huge
because
of
the
stigma
around
people
that
seek
mental
health
assistance,
but
don't
let
that
Dragon
carry
you
away,
I'm,
not
ashamed
to
say
that
I
went
and
got
help
when
I
needed
it
and
I
talked
to
somebody
once
a
month
and
I'll
recommend
it
to
anybody.
B
That's
out
there.
No
one
thinks
twice
about
fixing
a
broken
arm.
It's
part
of
your
body
and
you
need
it
to
live
you're,
not
just
going
to
accept
the
fact
that
it
doesn't
function
as
normal.
Well,
the
brain's
a
part
of
your
body
too,
and
it
needs
maintenance
like
everything
else,
and
it's
okay,
to
seek
help.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you're
weak,
it
means
you're
human,
which
bring
me
back
to
rule
number
two
treat
yourself
like
someone
you're
responsible
for
helping
take
the
time
to
make
sure
you're
all
right.
B
It's
okay
and
you're
not
being
selfish,
and
this
doesn't
just
apply
to
officers.
It's
advice
is
for
everybody.
Look
out
for
your
friends,
your
family,
your
neighbors,
that
guy
in
your
Golf
League,
don't
ignore
the
signs.
Don't
ignore
the
dragons
that
are
around
us
and,
of
course,
always
remember
the
names
that
are
on
this
wall
here
they
sought
what
was
meaningful.
They
answered
the
call
always
remember
that
they
were
seeking
to
make
the
world
a
better
place.
Remember
them
not
just
this
week
in
May,
but
every
day.
B
C
I'm
glad
that
he
introduced
me
to
say
a
few
words,
because
that's
usually
all
I
have
so
I
am
not
the
orator
that
detective
Meyer
is
but
I
really
appreciate.
His
message
here
today
welcome.
Thank
you
for
coming.
We
really
appreciate
it.
I
really
appreciate
fop
103
for
putting
this
on
every
year.
It's
a
lot
to
organize,
but
they
they
make
it
a
priority,
which
is
important.
Thank
you
to
president
berhagi
for
inviting
me
to
come
speak
here
today.
C
We
need
to
live
to
honor
their
profession.
As
he
said,
there
are
900
and
some
suicides
in
the
in
the
past.
Since
2017.
and
a
period
from
2017
to
2021,
there
were
270
officers
killed,
feloniously,
so
270,
that's
not
even
half
of
the
suicides
we
prepare.
We
train.
We
work
to
keep
that
from
happening
to
one
of
us
we're
at
the
range
we
do
defensive
tactics.
We
do
a
lot
of
preparation.
C
C
We
need
to
encourage
officers
to
get
help
and
from
my
standpoint,
we
need
to
require
help
when
they
go
to
a
traumatic
scene
or
or
something
happens.
I
had
just
the
other
day
at
one
of
our
lieutenants
actually
was
talking
about
a
training
he
went
to
where
the
guy
gave
the
analogy
of
you
know.
Everybody
starts
their
career
with
a
backpack
on
and
every
day
you
go
to
a
different
call,
or
maybe
it's
every
week
or
something
you
know
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
a
toll
on
you.
They
put
that
in
their
backpack.
C
Well,
by
the
time
you
got
20
years
in
that
backpack
gets
pretty
heavy
and
you
need
some
help
either
to
unload
some
of
the
material
or
have
somebody
help
you
carry
it
so
I
I
thought
that
was
a
good
good
way
to
put
it
that
we're
not
all
superhuman.
We
do
need
help
from
our
our
peers.
I
talk
about
all
the
time
that
the
law
enforcement
is
a
family,
and
especially
here
at
this
department.
C
I
encourage
sitting
around
the
tables
talking
to
each
other
and
no
matter
how
many
people
you
talk
to
Cops
want
to
talk
to
other
cops
I'm.
Sorry,
if
that
offends
anybody
or
whatever
but
yeah,
it's
just
something.
You
know
what
they've
gone
through
and
they
know
what
I've
gone
through,
and
we
can
laugh
about
things
that
you
shouldn't
laugh
about,
but
it's
just
the
way
that
we
deal
with
it.
C
So
if,
if
your
spouse
or
your
significant
other,
your
family
members,
don't
want
to
talk
to
you
about
about
work,
you
know
just
be
there
to
listen
when
they
do
I
encourage
them
sitting
around
the
table.
Talking
about
it,
joking
about
it
laughing
about
it,
because
that's
the
way
we
deal
with
it,
I've
had
a
few.
You
know
instances
throughout
my
career.
I
can
remember
one
elderly
woman
that
got
stabbed
to
death
and
I
can
still
see
her
face.
C
C
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
just
defending
the
profession
as
a
whole.
Turn
off
the
TV
talk
to
an
officer
on
there.
You
know,
as
detective
Meyer
said,
there's
headlines
every
day
about
what
we
did
wrong.
What
this
officer
did
what
that
officer
did
and
I'm
I'm
frankly,
I,
don't
like
it
I'm
sick
of
it,
I,
don't
like
hearing
it.
I,
don't
like
talking
about
it.
C
What
I
see
are
a
bunch
of
good
human
beings.
That's
who
I
work
with
there
have
been
so
many
instances.
This
is
beyond
everybody.
Does
police
work?
Well,
we
have
some
of
the
best
investigators
here,
but
everybody
does
it
like
they
can
investigate
a
crime
they
can
solve
a
crime
like
nobody's
businesses.
C
C
I
can
give
you
countless
stories
of
good
things
that
that
officers,
just
at
this
department,
have
done
they've
paid
for
hotels
for
people
that
didn't
have
a
place
to
stay
in
the
cold.
They
bought
meals
for
people
that
didn't
have
food
to
eat.
They
bought
bikes
for
people,
it
just
shoot.
In
the
month
of
April.
Last
month
we
had
a
eight-year-old
that
was
beat
up
by
a
couple.
Teenagers
had
his
bike
stolen.
C
C
This
isn't
a
unique
Department.
Every
department
has
officers
like
this.
We
take
care
of
the
community
in
ways
that
that
nobody
will
ever
see
and
that's
what
I'm
most
proud
of,
and
that's
how
we
should
remember
the
following
is
by
taking
care
of
the
people
in
this
community
and
living
life.
The
way
it
should
be
lived.
Thank
you.
