in November and French looks forward to watching him start a family as well.
Have you always wanted to be in law enforcement? What made you decide that was going to be?
I grew up in a first responder household with my father. So I was raised around the first responder life. I wanted to continue my father’ s legacy and carry on the tradition.
Best memory so far as an officer?
Helping a young woman that was contemplating suicide. Several years later seeing that same woman that is now married and has a child. She came up to me and gave me a hug and simply said thank you for saving me. The second was being there for my friend
and co-worker to apply the medical knowledge I have received to help him when he was shot on Oct. 12, 2023.
French said,“ people need to understand police officers are human beings. Do officers make mistakes? Yes- nobody is perfect. But 99.9 % of us want to help. Also, we see the absolute worst situations with people at their worst of times. We see all the evil in this world that one person can do to another person. But we still come to your aid, we still are there to help. In today’ s mentality some people hate the police officers just for simply putting on the uniform and doing a job without truly knowing the person behind the badge. We are criticized daily because of the uniform we wear but in reality we just want to help and make a difference!”
