Michigan Police Officers Never Know What's Going to Happen Each Day

Our men and women in blue wake up each knowing they may have to put their lives on the line in order to protect you and me.

When you and I go to work, we pretty much know what we are getting into each day. Police officers probably handle a lot of similar crimes like traffic tickets, theft, and domestic disputes all the time. Still, when those calls come into dispatch they could be anything from an active shooting, stabbing, murder, rape, you name it, and sometimes the occasional car chase of a suspect. Showing up to events like that is seriously putting your life on the line.
