Dear Editor,
Coming from a family of law enforcement officers, I know the sacrifices they and their families face i.e. birthdays missed, anniversaries, ballgames and many holidays. Why then would they choose that as a career? The answer is to serve and protect “you.”
Ninety-nine percent of law enforcement officers are wonderful people but an occasional bad one shouldn‚t let you lose respect for all of them.
Our police, deputies and OHP in Sequoyah County are doing their best to keep us safe, like teachers, they are underpaid. Sequoyah County needs to change that. No law enforcement officer should have to work one to two or even three part-time jobs to take care of their families.
