194 Police Officers Feloniously killed over the last three years and over 79,000 assaulted in 2023 alone. This is a disturbing trend. On this Peace Officers Memorial Day, we must challenge ourselves to do better to protect our officers. @TheIACP

This is why we enforce train track safety. Ashley Igo lost her mom, her 2 best friends, her niece & her leg in a train crash. Obey the laws at railroad crossings. You never know how many lives you could take or hurt, if you don't.
