I have met many retired Law Enforcement people here in the Villages since moving here in June of 2005. Many of them at the area's various dog parks.

Thanks for your service.

God bless the Thin Blue Line. Without them we would only have anarchy.

Police officers have one of the worst jobs in the country, a job 99% of Americans couldn't handle.

Most Americans are smart enough to know what the police to do for us on a daily basis.

They know the media, protestors and special interest groups do not represent main stream America....any color.

Thank you for remembering us, it's nice to know some people really do care.

Thank you. It has been hard watching the insanity sweeping the country. Lot of officers unnecessarily in harms way.

Yes indeed. Except for the retired officer (it was on his tee shirt) who went into a rage, wanted to fight , screaming obscenities because I pointed out that he was parked in a crosswalk while running into Publix.

Still working. Visit few times a year and plan on being a toad in 22 months. I have met a few there and ask how long does it take to not look at everything suspicious. Everyone is so laid back and I feel like I am on level 10 even on vacation. Anyways most say it takes a year and then you ease into the retirement. See you over the 4th.

Thanks for your continuing service. Feel free to share your experiences here as most of us support law enforcement 100%. Have you worked any of the protests/riots?

PS Your username here is kinda funny for a cop!
