Comments on: Line of Duty Death http://www.publicsafetysignals.com/2008/10/02/line-of-duty-death/ A discussion of Public Safety issues and why they matter Fri, 29 Jul 2011 21:06:14 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Charles http://www.publicsafetysignals.com/2008/10/02/line-of-duty-death/comment-page-1/#comment-977 Charles Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:19:23 +0000 http://www.publicsafetysignals.com/?p=118#comment-977 Jerry, like yourself, in my 32 years, I have seen far too many of our PS heroes fall. If safety planning, or even our discussions here, can save just one life we have served a great good for our fellow public safety member, that family, that community and for the nation. Thanks for the comment. Charles Jerry, like yourself, in my 32 years, I have seen far too many of our PS heroes fall. If safety planning, or even our discussions here, can save just one life we have served a great good for our fellow public safety member, that family, that community and for the nation.

Thanks for the comment.

Correctional officers are absolutely a critical part of the public safety team! I know that we, here at Capella, have built our public safety program with that recognition and designed the Leadership specialization to be applicable for those in that field as well. I salute correctional officers for their work! Charles Kevin, thanks for your comment. Correctional officers are absolutely a critical part of the public safety team!

Many refer to these professionals as 'guards'; these people are more than guards, they are also front line counselors, front line medics and also the enforcers. Just because these people are not out in the public eye, many are not considered law enforcement. These officers are POST certified and have limited arrest powers. There have several killed in the line of duty but are seldom recognized for their efforts and dedication to protecting the public. I have worked for over 17 years in the prison system in the state of Georgia and have known a few officers that have been killed or seriously injured. THey only recognition that was given to them was in-house. Thanks.

I wondered, if that life could have been saved and I realized that , in order to make a difference, I must follow a safety plan and be a symbol for someone else to follow. thanks for your awareness and concern for others.

You are probably preaching to the choir, but we need to become the best choir and get more to join the choir. I enjoyed your post Mark and agree wholeheartedly.
