And I see those who try to support their families in a demanding profession. They receive pressure from all sides. Most of the pressures are internal matters. Most of the pain is trying to deal with the bureaucracy. The hardest challenge is to remain a person of faith in a faithless world.
Many officers courageously show faith in light of no affirmation.
A good officer should exhibit the values of fairness, truthfulness and self-restraint. The officers who take these values to heart and live by them are, in my view, heroes. Their faith provides them with a moral compass, a framework. A person of faith is more likely to show compassion.
