Most of the LEOs that I knew in WV were decent, dedicated and brave men and women. They often had to go into situations without backup because there was no one else available and they could not turn away from their duty. In many places they put their life on the line for under $30,000 per year. Most had previously served their country in the military. They may be fewer in number, but are no less dedicated "big city" police.

And yes, they are typical of the many fine men and women who serve in rural areas. There are no finer folks on the job.
