Oftentimes, these brave men and women are put in harm's way to protect civilians in various ways and have to deal with situations that most of us could even make up using our wildest imaginations.

If you have a friend or family member in law enforcement and have ever asked them why they love the job, many will say it's because of how random each call is and how their work can make communities safer.

Community safety is a part of the foundation of law enforcement, and sometimes officers/deputies are recognized for their work by their peers at yearly events that highlight some of the great things these men and women do.
