last fri there was a state trooper in front of my house pulling people over for speeding. i live in town in a 35 mile zone and people go 60 through there i have been begging for the police to come sit in my driveway for yrs. anyway i was so glad to see the trooper that i called his office and talked to his boss and thanked him for doing his job and how much i appriciated it. i even told him where i lived and to feel free to sit in my driveway anytime. he couldnt believe that i called him to thank him said all he ever got were calls to complain. he even called me back about 3 min later to make sure i was ok said he thought maybe someone was in my house and i was trying to get help w/o asking for it lol. doesnt anyone ever call you guys to say thanks??? if not they should i for one have great respect for all you people who work to protect us...

I got pulled over for a ticket by the los angeles police. The officer was really a nice guy and so I told him most of you guys are doing a fine job out there. I wasn't trying to get out of the ticket, it's just that the crazy people here in LA give them such a hard time and they are for the most part good guys just trying to enforce the law.

Most of the time it's calls to complain, but it seems anymore that people like you are rare; the people who appreciate what we do. I have known and met a lot of officer's throughout my career, but have yet to meet an officer who did not have the public's best interests at heart. I just finisehed my work week a short time ago and decided to look through the questions to see what was going on and found your question. You really made my week worthwhile. So from me to you, Thanks. It's nice to know there are people like you who still care!

I had an incident at work once, and the next day I called the officer to tell him thank you. We ended up talking the phone for almost an hour, and now I know, if I ever need him in that city, he's there. Kind of nice for the both of us.

I do my best to be respectful to Officers but it might feel a little awkward doing that but hay maybe I should try it
PS the hardcore Irish punk band called the Dropkick Murphy's did a song about the cops in there neighborhood who they loved

no most calls people do complain about something! Wether it's gettin a ticket, or were arrested for nothing, blah blah blah!
It's unusual for them to get a call and have someone say thanx!
My hubby loves his job reguardless of people complaining..lol
but it's the few like u that really makes their day!
It's nice to see someone who respects Officers as you do!
have a great night!!!!!!
take care
to all officers be safe out there!!!

Lots of people saw it, and they guy, who claimed he was an Israeli turned out to be a criminal on parole, his parole was revoked for other reasons and he's in jail. The story of the film was not confined to here, many countries had information that the cause of the unrest, which wasn't confined that day to Americans or Benghazi was due to the film clip. It was meant to provoke and it did.

There have been police officers running radar in our town on church lots and the churches have asked them to leave. That's pretty sad.
Everyone is quick to call and complain, but very few compliment. You did a very good thing.

Wonderful you are so right I've never seen or heard of this before but it certainly could promote or encourage good feelings between the community and the police after all it is a two way street and your kindness is encouraging . I have seen professional courtesy between police and security .

We appreciate your good words. Mostly people call to complain about petty bs. Once in a while somebody will thank you which is nice.

Whenever I am at the c store getting coffee and donughts,iI see a cop in there, i jsutgo over and whisper,"thank you for the job you'redoing."
It usually blows their mind...! But it makes them feel good.
Cops are the guys doing the dirty work somebody has to do.
