Your vigilance and willingness to get involved continue to prove invaluable to our efforts to effectively police our community.”
“Individuals who go armed in public pose a threat to not only other members of the public, but also themselves, as they face having the weapon taken away and used against them by their intended target, or by being targeted for retaliation. If you feel threatened, do not arm yourself, report your concern to someone in authority.”
