I am attending a Citizens' Police Academy, and this week, we studied the Uniform Patrol Division. Our instructor handed out an article written by the beloved Paul Harvey, and I intended to post it here when I got home. But when I looked it up online - to check on copyright issues - I discovered someone had put his actual broadcast to a video, so I decided I'd share it with you this way.

If you see a policeman or policewoman anytime in the near future, thank them for their service. It's a thankless job, but we should all be incredibly grateful for men and women, like the ones I've met the last six weeks, who serve in law enforcement.
