County Executive George Latimer Statement On Police Week 2019

“As is often said – but can never be said too often – police officers are the first responders who are tasked with running toward an emergency while the rest of us run away. Police officers swear an oath to keep us safe, often putting themselves in danger, and still carry on as mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends and neighbors in their civilian life. On this Police Week 2019, be sure to keep in our thoughts these heroic folks who make it their duty to protect us - while we must be sure to do what we can to support them.”
