The 9-11 Foundation asks everyone to find time to visit your local police precinct.
On September 11, 2001 seventy-two law enforcement officers lost their lives from the New York Police Department, Fire Department of New York Fire Marshal’s office, Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Secret Service, the Port Authority, and other agencies.
There is has been a great deal of discussion in the past year about the proper role of police officers in our nation and we support accountability, proper training, and scaled response, but there is no question that those who sacrificed their lives on 9-11 were heroes not because of their death that day, but because of their commitment to the Rule of Law and responding to others’ needs.
We believe bridges are best built over conversations and that can only happen when open minds show up to both be heard and hear.
This Labor Day we encourage you to take a moment to visit your local police precinct and learn more about their operations and how you can be a citizen contributor to your local community.
