Late last week we received some unexpected visitors at our station. The Gearhart family arrived with some wonderful hand drawn cards and a gift card for lunch for the officers. We are so blessed to work in such an amazing community. Barely a day goes by that residents and business owners don't reach to us to ask how we are doing? People we are interacting with in the community have been letting us know that they value our presence and service to the community. 

We, as many other officers and first responders in our region and across the nation, do not do this work expecting thank you's, we do it for the love of our community and our belief that we do make a difference in keeping people safe. 

Thanks again for all the calls and words of encouragement and belief.
