Political Quotes

“I rise during National Police Week to honor the men and women who every morning put on their badge and selflessly protect and serve our communities. Many heroically go above and beyond their duty. It was a privilege of mine to invite and sit next to Kendall County Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Johnson at last year's State of the Union Address. On New Year's night, he jumped into a freezing pond to rescue a motorist in a sinking car. These acts of heroism deserve our recognition. Yet, rarely do our officers receive recognition and thanks for their day-to-day work serving people. A police officer is the person that helps you when you are stranded on the side of the road. A police officer scours the neighborhood with your kids looking for a lost dog. They are the Illinois police departments that tomorrow are taking part in Cops on a Rooftop with Dunkin Donuts to help raise money for the Illinois Special Olympics. To police officers everywhere: Thank you. ____________________”
