Giving Thanks for Public Safety

2007 Nov 22 Posted by Joseph Pascarella

The Public Safety enterprise for the United States is a global, 24 hour/7 day a week/365 day a year operation. As of this writing, personnel that are ensuring our public safety range from our military personnel on Patrol on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border, police officers on Patrol in Los Angeles, to ICE Border agents along the Canadian border, and to hospital workers in Cleveland. Unfortunately, ensuring Public Safety does not take a Holiday.

One of the most stressful aspects for Public Safety personnel is working weekends, evenings, and especially Holidays. While we are enjoying our Turkey and Football and spending time with our families on this day, please remember those who are out there for everyone’s safety.

Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Excellent point Joe! Public safety is our front-line defense 24/7 365 days a year. It is easy to sometime take for granted their omnipresent protection. My hat is off to all of those public safety members serving and protecting during this Thanksgiving week, and throughout the year as well. THANK YOU!

When I lived in Maryland, our church brought Thanksgiving dinner to all the firehouses and EMT houses. It was a practical way to remind us that there are people sacrificing for our safety and well-being.

By the way- I REALLY LIKE the new page layouts. I put my Safety Signals blog at the top of My Page. Excellent! It was so hard to find before.

How do we start a new topic thread of ask a question that is off topic? I am a member of the American Society of Criminology and there is so much fascinating stuff I’d like to share. Just this month The Criminologist has informaiton on “The growing importance of criminology in the study of terrorism”. They even offer sources of funding for research that a doctoral or postdoc student could go after.

This is the toughest time of year for public safety I believe. From the 9-1-1 end of things, I know that we see and hear so much that breaks our heart in a season where people should let go of all of that evil & meanness.

9-1-1 professionals are also a humble bunch. They want a “quiet” holiday season, and yet they feel guilty when bad stuff happens and they are experiencing the good part of life with family & friends.

I believe we are all part of the same big team and we should be taking care of each other more than ever during the holidays!

thanks, and be safe!
