The New Jersey Police Chief Magazine | December 2022
With Thanksgiving just behind us and the holiday season just around the corner , it is an appropriate time to reflect on all of our blessings . I know that at times it may be hard to actually feel grateful , we all have much to be thankful for , not least of all for the amazing men and women – police officers , firefighters , health care workers , and all first responders – who each and every day provide lessons in courage and selflessness .
We are thankful for the men and women of our military , wherever they are , who are defending not only our lives and our country , but those very liberties and freedoms for which we are so thankful .
Closer to home , we should also be thankful for the fellowship and professionalism of our colleagues , members , and all of the supporters of our membership and our association .
On behalf of the NJSACOP Executive Staff , as well as my own family , I wish you all a Merry Christmas , a happy and thankful holiday season , and a safe , happy , and healthy New Year .
