Dyer Difference helps bring joy during time of profound loss
From the first day of the academy, law enforcement officers learn to never take for granted a kiss at the door as they leave for work or a hug from their children as they tuck them in before heading off for the night shift. That’s because, while tomorrow is never promised for any of us, even the most routine call for a law enforcement officer has the potential to become deadly, and every goodbye kiss at the door before a day’s shift could be a last kiss. But instead of dwelling on the danger and becoming hardened by those whose hearts are filled with hate and anger, most law enforcement officers instead choose to lean into their mission to serve and protect and embrace those ideals with even more passion.
