We were so inspired by this gesture that myself and Richie Jones decided to organize an “Appreciation Day” for our local Sheriff’s Dept. Within a few days, there were over six county law en- forcement agencies involved and we went from inviting 300 officers and their families to sending out over 2000 invita- tions. The 300 dozen cookie folks: Marcella Telling with her husband Jason, son Jeremie Bordua, and daughter Kaleigh. We invited Mississippi Gov- ernor Phil Bryant, State At- torney General Jim Hood, the State Highway Patrol Commissioner, Senators and other special guests. The event will be held on August 6, 2016 at the Pas- cagoula Fairgrounds and we have invited Jeremie and his Mom Marcella to attend. It’s time the public takes a stand against all the negative publicity we are seeing daily against our law enforcement officers and we are doing just that.

If you live in New York City, it’s not just criminals people have to worry about in terms of statistical threats, it’s vehicles and construction accidents like cranes collaps- ing. At particular risk are the brave souls that work at altitude like crane operators and window washers. Just ask the two window washers saved by police and firefighters recently after their carriage malfunctioned and left the two men dan- gling a couple hundred feet above the Earth. Thankfully, both men were wearing their occu- pational version of a seat belt in the form of safety harnesses. Those kept the two from becoming human puddles. But they were still trapped. Members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit working in concert with FDNY were able to rescue both men. Cops and firefighters de- termined which unit in the large building was closest to the location of the trapped window washers and were able to pull them to safety. “Nice job,” tweeted Chief Harry Wedin, commander of the NYPD Special Opera- tions Division.
