would most likely respond law enforcement. A police officer’s uniform is designed to do just that- allow the public to easily recognize who they are. Unfortunately, a grand majority of today’s society makes the ill-fated judgement that police officers only pass out speeding tickets and make arrests. Although these actions do fall under their duty, police officers perform a wide variety of tasks in their ongoing effort to both serve justice and uphold…
pushed me to be a better person and take advantage of the opportunities I have. She always believed in me when no one else would and was never one to judge me on the mistakes I have made. She knew the day would come when she would see me in a law enforcement uniform and although she is not here physically she is looking down from heaven. Without her influence on me I really don’t know in which direction my life would have gone and I am determined to make her…

The last thing I remembered about him was his Roman nose. We were at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s restaurant, and we were having a good time with each other. We agreed to meet at this exact spot, and time after 20 years, and then we parted. We just left each other. That was the last time I saw Jimmy Wells. I feel a drizzle of rain beat down on my coat.
