Today marks one week since the senseless attack upon Dallas PD and DART officers. Yesterday, and over the next few days these five heroes will be laid to rest. Officers from our department have and will be attending these funerals to pay our respects for our fallen comrades. Though this tragedy did not affect us directly, the law enforcement community shares a bond few professions can equal due to the potential dangers so vividly and tragically brought to the forefront last Thursday evening. Throughout this week we have received numerous visitors, emails, calls, cards, food and other items of appreciation from our citizens, for which we are very grateful. The support of the community is the ultimate measure of effectiveness of any police department. I have said many times that we could not do our job without your support. Our charge is to partner with our community such that our service extends beyond law and order. I personally feel a great sense of pride in our community, our city council and fellow city employees for the outpouring expressions of encouragement and support of our officers and staff.
In these turbulent times rest assured that your police officers will not be deterred by an act of violence. We will continue to serve, protect and partner with our residents and businesses to ensure that Sachse remains a safe and vibrant community for all.
I thank you and all the members of the Sachse Police Department, thank you for your support.
