Honoring all LEOs on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

For National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, January 9, I’m sharing a short collection of quotes from the first set of interviews I did with officers in 2020. I am a civilian doing this podcast to give law enforcement a voice at this difficult time. My goal is to tell the real stories of LE to shine a light on your commitment, sacrifice and the good things you do every day.  #NationalLawEnforcmentAppreciationDay 

The quotes you hear in this short collection are from:

Episodes 1 with a Seattle Police Department Sergeant;

Episode 2 with a Chief from a mid-sized agency in the Pacific Northwest;

Episode 3 with a retired Seattle Police Officer with 40 years in LE;

Episode 5 with Los Angeles Police Department retired Detective Moses Castillo;

Episode 7 with Lt. Christopher Cook, PIO for the Arlington Police Department in Texas.

I should also highlight on this day of gratitude to LEOs, that episodes 4, 6 and 8 are interviews with citizens who are going out of their way to actively show their support for all police officers, in their own markets and beyond.

More episodes are on their way. Please follow me on Twitter @AbbyEllsworth13; and on Facebook; or email me at Abby@ellsworthproductions.com.

About the Podcast

On Being a Police Officer
An inside look at law enforcement through a civilian’s interviews.
An inside look at law enforcement through a civilian’s interviews. These are stories of police told by officers themselves. They talk frankly about what it’s like to be a cop in these tough times, what drew them to the job, and what the people they serve don’t know about the challenges of their work. It’s a view from the front lines and some very personal and emotional stories, especially about why each of these officers chose to serve. I draw on my 14 years of interviewing, filming and photographing police officers – and many ride-alongs!
