A Great Quote That Still Rings True

"No man is above the law; and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor"

Theodore Roosevelt - Third Annual Message to Congress, Dec. 7, 1903


This applies to all law enforcement personnel as well. I firmly believe that all law enforcement officers should abide by the strictest standards of honesty and integrity. Each one should work to be beyond reproach and rebuke. I believe that we should stay within the requirements of our Constitution. Recognizing a persons civil rights is not a thing of the past, nor a thing of the future, it is a concept and demand for today.
