NPD FACEBOOK POST - 9.20.14 - Thank a Police Officer Day

Good Morning all,

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning - 73 degrees and partly sunny…Get out and enjoy. Don’t forget that the Harvest Moon Festival is taking place today from 9AM until 8PM on the green – This is a great event with lots of great food…including some of the freshest D words around!!

Today also happens to be “Thank a Police Officer” day 2014…This is like Christmas around here for all of us …except that traditionally around here, no one else really cares… I mean, take last year when we arrested a guy for selling drugs on “Thank a Police Officer Day”…Nothing – Not a “Hey Happy Police Officer Day”’ or “Merry Cop Day” – Just a few expletive’s from him and that was it… Hardly made the day feel like the special event it is to all us cops…it is after all, the mother of all cop holidays!!

So with that – I think we should set out for a new goal this year…I think a great place to start is by maybe tweaking our approach a bit and NOT expecting those we arrest to bask in the glow of this glorious PD holiday - instead – I think all of YOU, our social media family should offer up some kind words to the men and women of the Naugtuck PD… Or maybe even just some “Kinda” Kind words… Ok, Listen we’ll settle for anything better than “You guys (Fill in the blank here with expletive’s) !!!”

Please – try to reach down deep and find that one kind word or phrase …and offer it up to a deserving Naugatuck Police Officer… our Facebook page will be open all day for you to make a kind word donation to a cop in need of a compliment…

To start us off – I attached a photo of the wonderful men and women at the Bridge Street Dunkin D Words’ – They offered me kind words during my drive through therapy session, and that is what makes this holiday so special…Okay, so there you go – they started the ball rolling!! Thank you all and please have a happy and safe Saturday…Ah,… I mean Thank A Police Officer Day!!!
