The responsibilities and challenges
of today’s police officers are ever increasing. With the threat of
homeland terrorism, rising violence in our schools, drug and alcohol
abuse, our society and freedoms that we so dearly cherish are being
challenged. Police Officers must continue to train, be innovative, and
constantly evaluate and re-evaluate policy and procedure
to adjust to these acts of violence and behaviors. Despite
all these obstacles, the most important role that a police officer
provides which will never change or be defeated is serving the people. I
have been given the trust of the people and charged with duties to
provide the citizens of Pulaski County with a staff who are
professional, trained, motivated and sincere about their chosen
profession as a servant to the people. I will do this to the best of my
ability and will not allow The Thin Blue
Line to weaken by those who
would do us harm.
Michael L. Gayer
Sheriff – Pulaski County
