We want to thank everyone who serves in law enforcement across the United States. Many may not realize that law enforcement is made up of far more than just police officers. It includes police, sheriffs, coroners, conservation agents, court investigators, park rangers, federal agents, baliffs, prosecutors, and judges.

These men and women have sworn to uphold the laws of our great nation. They serve with honor, courage, and dedication—often at great personal sacrifice. We are grateful for their commitment to justice, order, and the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Thank you to all the men and women of law enforcement who proudly serve and protect this country. 🇺🇸
