I decided to attend the National Law Enforcement Week in Washington, D.C. this year. I had always promised myself that I would and decided this was the year.

No matter what you are doing at the time, writing a report, driving on patrol or in the middle of a call there will be a shift in priorities when the call goes out.

Your fear of being shot and killed in this job did not stop you from taking on the job. However, a much smaller chance of being involved in a high-profile case stops some from doing their job.
