Taken for granted

Dear sir:
Most citizens don’t generally encounter the police on a regular basis, and it is easy to lose sight of the difficult and often thankless job they do.

We have the good fortune to live in a relatively safe community. It remains safe because of the often unseen and unheralded efforts of our police force.
We have, over the past few months, had reason to call on the police force on numerous occasions. I want to say that all of the officers of the Fort Frances OPP detachment with whom we came into contact impressed us as caring and concerned professionals.
Their calm competence was a tremendous reassurance.
Next time you see a member of the Fort Frances OPP detachment, why not say “Thank you!” to show them they are appreciated for keeping us safe and maintaining the security we so often take for granted.
I know I will.
Yours truly,
Rudolf K. Zeitlhofer
Fort Frances, Ont.
