Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of our brothers and sisters at St Petersburg Police Department in Florida. One of our very own Officers lost a good friend as a result of this latest wave of violence targeted at Law Enforcement across this great country.  This nation lost two more heroes who stood for everything which is good...Rest In Peace... Police Sergeant Thomas John 'Tom' Baitinger & Police K9 Officer Jeffrey 'Jeff' Yaslowitz ... We have the watch from here.
