Happy National Police Woman Day!

Today we want to recognize and celebrate all of the women who serve in law enforcement. Their strength, dedication, and compassion they serve with is commendable.

Here at our department, we’re especially proud of Officer Brittanie Miller, our department’s one and only female officer.

Thank you for your service, your commitment to our community, and for representing women in law enforcement!

On this day 25 years ago, our nation suffered a tremendous loss.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were taken in acts of terrorism at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and aboard Flight 93.

In the face of unimaginable sorrow, Americans came together. First responders ran toward danger. Strangers helped strangers. Communities supported one another, and countless acts of courage and selflessness reminded us of the strength we have in unity.

Today, we remember every life lost, we honor the survivors, the families who lost loved ones, and all those whose lives were forever changed by that day.

Twenty-five years later, we remember, we honor, and we will never forget.
