“Each day, millions of police officers do the selfless work of putting their lives on the line to protect civilians, frequently responding to or preventing crises completely with no recognition.” — Letitia James
Every time I stand in front of a room of law enforcement officers—whether speaking at a police academy, teaching a DRE school, or presenting at a conference—I leave a piece of my heart behind.
As Ally’s mom, sharing the hard details of her crash scene investigation and prosecution isn't easy. But when I look into the eyes of the officers in the room, I see the weight they carry and the deep dedication they have to keeping our roads safe.
I see officers carrying a piece of Ally with them—holding a challenge coin, wearing a button with her smile, or taking extra care during traffic stops to ensure another family never has to experience what ours did.
To every officer, investigator, and first responder fighting impaired driving every day: thank you. You are the frontline that saves lives, and we are honored to stand alongside you in this mission. 💜
