Welcome to May which includes Mother's Day and Police Memorial Week.

I have always thought it sadly ironic that Police Week usually starts on Mother's Day. What a sad "celebration" of the day for all the moms that have lost a child or spouse in the line of duty.

May is also Mental Health Awareness month, so there's a lot on the leadership plate: celebrate mothers, honor the fallen, support your officers for mental health.

Stay safe!
