I simply meant that ones attitude can make or break a situation, and it does start on individual levels.
Most of the officers I know refuse to have a nay saying, defeatist attitude. They love what they do and would do it even if there were no raises. It is a noble calling.
I am appalled at how the PD has been derogated over the years. I personally hope you all get the resources, monetarily and in the way of proper gear so that you can do your jobs.
Although the crime in DKC is awful, crime is rampant around the country. I think there have been many citizens that are starting to see more of a presence in their communities. I think most citizens want to work with the police department. And despite the leaders, whether VJ or TB, the citizens are smart enough to realize who it is who protects us.
My sincerest thanks to you Stanley and the rest of the officers who so valiantly serve our community. I hope you will understand my point about attitude. And I agree with you, whole heartedly, a great county is not great without a great PD.

As I have said in earlier comments on this site, it is not about the money and a raise is not going to make this a better police department. It is all about the leadership. However, this is a noble profession and regardless of how we are being treated by the department’s leadership, we should always have a good attitude toward the citizens. We should hold our head up, work hard, be professional and do the best we can under present circumstances. I believe that is basically the point you were making with your comments and I must say that you do have a valid point and we need to be reminded of this occasionally. Thank you for taking the time!
