They are the ones who are born with the remarkable desire to serve and protect their community or country. It is a calling ingrained in them. Every day, law enforcement officers wake up, put their uniform on and leave their loved ones behind to go out in their community, not sure if they will be coming back home.
Now, more than ever, the law enforcement community needs the full support of our communities and elected officials. In this episode of the Blue View, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Representative Abigail Spanberger, from the 7th Congressional District of Virginia, to discuss her tireless work on Capitol Hill to ensure that law enforcement officers and their families receive what they have rightfully earned and deserve.
