For National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, January 9, I’m sharing a short collection of quotes from the first set of interviews I did with officers in 2020. I am a civilian doing this podcast to give law enforcement a voice at this difficult time. My goal is to tell the real stories of LE to shine a light on your commitment, sacrifice and the good things you do every day.  #NationalLawEnforcmentAppreciationDay 

The quotes you hear in this short collection are from:

Episodes 1 with a Seattle Police Department Sergeant;

Episode 2 with a Chief from a mid-sized agency in the Pacific Northwest;

Episode 3 with a retired Seattle Police Officer with 40 years in LE;

Episode 5 with Los Angeles Police Department retired Detective Moses Castillo;

Episode 7 with Lt. Christopher Cook, PIO for the Arlington Police Department in Texas.

I should also highlight on this day of gratitude to LEOs, that episodes 4, 6 and 8 are interviews with citizens who are going out of their way to actively show their support for all police officers, in their own markets and beyond.

More episodes are on their way. Please follow me on Twitter @AbbyEllsworth13; and on Facebook; or email me at [email protected].
