Photos, videos: Honoring, thanking veterans who now serve as law enforcement officers
It's not unusual for officers to have prior military experience — and that's evident by our roundup of departments acknowledging their dedication and service
By Police1 Staff
It's not unusual for police officers to have prior military experience. This is evident by our roundup below, which features a variety of departments celebrating, thanking and honoring those who once served in the military line of fire but now serve their communities in the line of duty.
Is your department holding a special event to honor veterans who now serve as officers? Or maybe your agency unveiled a new cruiser that honors and shows appreciation to active duty members as well as veterans? Email us at editor@police1.com and we'll add it to our list below.
And from all of us at Police1, thank you to all those who have served and those who continue to serve.
Today we honor the Americans who have served in the armed forces. We're fortunate to have these excellent officers who are former or current servicemembers. Thank you for your service to our country and to our community!#VeteransDay #HometownHeroes #McPhersonProuD #military pic.twitter.com/wORoqDTfcZ
