Being a law enforcement officer is an essential role in our society, yet today it’s a job that faces a growing stigma. A Siena College poll conducted last July revealed significant concern among New Yorkers about public safety, with 61 percent expressing worry about becoming a crime victim and 51 percent saying they felt uneasy about their safety in public spaces.

The year just finished wasn’t a good one for politicians, or politics in general. We have two wars, an inept majority in the House of Representatives, an up-and-down economy and the prospect of having two candidates for president who are both highly unpopular.
