Bump.
When we lost an officer from our city PD this year, officers showed up from literally nearly every state in the Republic.

You'd probably get a lot more responses if you untacked it.

Yep, and the day after the Dallas ambush.

My LGS is having a support for LEO day, I am not going to be able to go because my boss is a liberal bitch, and getting a Saturday off is next to impossible. Couldn't even get off for a family reunion...

Either way, hit up the gun store and asked them to pass the info on. Also just sent the info to a good high school classmate of mine who is a LEO, and my cousin, who is also a LEO.

In addition to Officer Flamion, can I ask everyone to keep the family of Capt. Melton killed yesterday in KCK in their prayers? Spent a bit of time on the phone last night with my old boss, and Melton was a close friend of his. I actually met him at a Super Bowl party my friend hosted, didn't connect the dots last night until I talked to Jon.

I talked to the mother of a fellow police Sgt on the Ballwin PD today by happenstance at a Dr. visit. She is just beside herself. The whole community is. Prayers out to all of them.

He's not dead, but he's got a long, hard road ahead of him. He is on a ventilator and paralyzed from the neck down.

my uncle was a retired officer
sadly he is no longer with us
but I have a ton of patches he collected

I can send a department patch no problem
but I could also send 10 or 20 patches from all over

is that ok? or is that not ok... any cop "codes" I would be violating?

I wouldn't ask you to part with family heirlooms, but whatever you care to send is wonderful.
