Congratulations to Charlotte's newest guardians of the night -- CMPD's Recruit Class #176! They have answered the call to bravely serve the citizen's of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 'Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!."
~ Isaiah 6:8

This 176th graduate has followed in his father's footsteps - a retired NYPD police officer. The photo on the left of a son proud of his father, and the other of a father proud of his son. Priceless!
Stay safe recruits #176. I hope to see you at my table one day for a hot meal or in the gift shop at the LEC if you're on third shift. In the meantime, my blue candle will continue to shine in my dining room window - all day, every day - to honor my friends behind the badge. It keeps me mindful of what a dangerous job you have. It keeps me mindful to pray for you. I hope it keeps you mindful of the lady on the corner who cares about you.
