It's a shame, two years ago two NYPD officers were on break in their squad car and assassinated. I'll never forget that event unfortunately, because of smart phone video, the EMT trying to perform CPR on the one officer, when it was clear he was dead with the amount of blood on the pavement. With the amount of crazies, squad cars should have bulletproof glass/armor nowadays.

RIP Officer Familia

In college for one if m class assignments I did a ride along with cop who now is the sheriff of our department and quite interesting and I was a reserve officer from about, right out of college until I got married. Just a few years tho as the community grew they were so short staffed and huge budget cuts at the time. Like 15-20 hours a week

Hey Mark, thanks for lending a hand. I worked with a lot of reserve officers. They were invaluable. Like you said being so short staffed. Major respect for doing a dirty thankless job for free.
