Worthy Effort

Copied from a Facebook Posting.


Mills Police Department
To all law enforcement agencies and officers:
A neighboring department to us had tragedy strike recently, and our chief has asked for your help.
As many of you know, two officers from the Casper Police Department were recently involved in a shooting, which left the suspect deceased, and one officer fighting for his life, after being shot five times. Officer Carlson is still in intensive care trying to recover from these life threatening wounds.
The outpouring of support from the public has been tremendous, and makes me proud to live in the State of Wyoming. The outpouring of support I have seen from the law enforcement community make me even prouder to be in this profession.
My chief had an idea, and has tasked me with getting some help from all of you. The idea is to present the officer with as many challenge coins, and patches as we can get, when he is released from the hospital. We do not know when he will be released, but it sounds like he will have a long road ahead of him.
If you, or your department would be willing to send a coin, patch or other department token to this injured brother, please send them to Chief Preciado or Detective Good at the following address:
Mills Police Department
4800 W. Yellowstone Hwy
Mills, Wyoming 82604
Also, please share this with as many departments as you can. We would like to overload him with as many coins and patches as we can.
As I said, we do not know when Officer Carlson will be release, but would like to have these soon. Thank you for all of your support, and please keep Officer Carlson in your thoughts and prayers.

I've passed this on to all my LEO relatives and friends. Perhaps you can do the same?
