Oak Creek Residents Say Thanks To Police

With this week being Police Week, a number of community members have offered their heartfelt thanks to the men and women in blue.

As part of Police Week, law enforcement honors those who were disabled or died in the line of duty. More than 19,000 names of fallen law enforcement officers are etched into the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial — and more are added every year.

But the rest of the members of the Oak Creek Police Department put their lives on the line every day, and we put out a call on Facebook to offer the opportunity for the community to show their support for the men in blue.

Here's what you had to say:

Sheryl Kropf Cerniglia:

Thanks to all the school resource officers past and present.... we couldn't run our schools without them!

Steven Stein:

In my 10 years of living in Oak Creek I have always have had positive experiences in dealing with the Police and the Dispatchers. They have always been professional and courteous.

Allyse Whetzel:

Ashenhurst (spelling) for talking with me about my dream to become a cop. Finco & Kelly for inspiring me

Thank you all OC men and women in blue. People don't understand the lifestyle unless they live it. Great sacrifices are made on this job. I am so grateful for every one of you.
