One of my top priorities as Attorney General is to foster better relationships between our law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. And as the wife of a law enforcement officer, I know first-hand the sacrifice and strong dedication that comes with putting on the badge.
This week was National Police Week—a time to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and recognize all the hard work that officers endure daily to keep us safe.
I believe their incredible service is something to be commended and shared as they continue to put their lives at risk, especially now during these uncertain times during a global pandemic.Their work to keep us safe should never be taken for granted and I’ve been amazed how active Floridians have been showing their support.
It’s refreshing to see the many acts of kindness and support between first responders and citizens fighting this crisis together.
Just two weeks ago, I issued a Back the Blue Alert to recognize the thousands of law enforcement officers, citizens and organizations in Florida supporting each other during these challenging times.
Although our in-person Back the Blue Awards ceremonies are on hold to help stop the spread of COVID-19, it’s still very important to honor and highlight the many positive stories that we are hearing.
Let’s continue working together to end this crisis. If you see a law enforcement officer risking their safety for ours, please tell them thank you!
Stay safe, Florida.
