As a peace officer, I understand the daily inner battles police officers must endure as they work a job that goes mostly un-noticed by the public, chain of command, friends, and even family. I created this website solely 4 one reason and that is to show other law enforcement officers that GOD changes lives. First, a little about myself:
In the late 1990's I started my career as a police officer 4 a large municipality. I was no different than any other rookie. As I started my career I found myself with a shift (sector) that I grew very fond of and in fact made some lifelong friends. At this time in my life, I had no relationship with GOD and was a pro at drinking and partying aka "choir practice". Understand, I did all this on my own free accord but will elude some to the atmosphere that was presented by the police department. This was the start of my demise. Of course this did not just occur over night but as I progressed within the department, I developed the "us versus them" attitude. The only people I could rely on was my shift. Even my family was forced to take a backseat to my shift. This eventually created problems with my spouse and rightfully justified. To keep it short: I was a horrible husband and a horrible father. It wasn't until I met a fellow police officer who had a relationship with Christ that made me realize what type of man I really promoted to this world. Keep in mind, with the exception of the above statements I viewed myself as a good person.
Once I realized I was living a life of sin, God really burdened my heart. I became SAVED.
After this amazing experience my life took a turn like I could have never imagined. My relationships with my wife, children, and friends was restored to a degree that I could not even explain. Please understand that this did not go without work on my part. I had to learn alot of things that most people and especially police officer are not willing to learn. I had to learn
By adopting the things listed above you will notice a positive change in your life. Please remember Christians have struggles and there are consequences to your choices but we serve a mighty God and he does produce miracles. I am living proof of these statements.
