Fihla also reminded us that although respect for JMPD officers was crucial throughout the year, it was especially important to exercise the same respect during the holidays when officers were working tirelessly to ensure the safety of our community.
“Please treat our officers with courtesy and understanding as they are working hard to keep you and your loved ones safe,” said Fihla. “It’s important to note that respect goes both ways, and officers need to respect the community they serve as well.”
