Fellow police chiefs, law enforcement professionals, and especially armed services veterans serving in civilian law enforcement, it is my distinct pleasure to contribute to this month’s magazine showcasing veterans and military law enforcement. I am both honored and humbled by this opportunity and want to thank the IACP President, Chief Richard Beary, IACP Executive Director, Mr. Vincent Talucci, and The Police Chief editors for this chance to recognize the contributions of our military members and veterans within the policing profession.
