The Prosper Police Officers Association was created with two main goals in mind โ€“ to represent the hardworking men and women of the Prosper Police Department and to create a lasting bond with the community that we serve to protect on a daily basis.

Nine out of ten people who attempt su***de and survive do not go on to die by su***de later.

That figure comes from Harvard's Means Matter project, drawing on a review of ninety studies. It is worth sitting with, because of what it actually means. For most people the worst moment is not the permanent one. It passes. They go on.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, and this is the month to say the difficult part plainly. Research from CNA and First H.E.L.P. documented 1,287 law enforcement and corrections personnel lost to su***de between 2016 and 2022, an average of roughly 184 a year.

Those numbers are not here to frighten anyone. They are here because a hazard that goes unnamed does not stop being a hazard.

Members of this association carry this alongside everything else the job asks of them. We would rather talk about it early than talk about it after.

If you are carrying something heavy right now, the odds are better than the moment feels.

When a disaster hits, the phone network does not fail evenly. Voice calls go first.

Here is why. A phone call holds an open channel for as long as you talk. A text message is a tiny packet that queues, retries, and slips through gaps a call cannot use. That is why the FCC's emergency guidance says plainly that in many cases text messages will go through when your call may not.

The second half of that guidance is the part almost nobody follows. Pick a contact who lives outside your area and make sure everyone in your household knows to check in with that person. When something happens locally, local lines jam. Long distance often still works. Your out of area contact becomes the switchboard while the neighborhood ones are useless.

September is National Preparedness Month. Two things, ten minutes, no shopping required. Agree on the out of area contact, and make sure everyone knows to text rather than call.

Our members work the days these plans get tested. The households that made one are noticeably easier to help.

Comment below with the one preparedness step you have actually done. Not the one you keep meaning to do.

110 years ago, the Marine Corps Reserve was created for a war the United States had not entered yet.

President Woodrow Wilson signed the Naval Appropriations Act on August 29, 1916. The logic was simple: if America was pulled into World War I, it would need trained Marines ready to move without months of lead time. Congress built the Reserve to guarantee that.

It worked. Reserve Marines went on to serve in every major American conflict since, from Belleau Wood to Iraq and Afghanistan, alongside disaster response, humanitarian missions, and community work like Toys for Tots.

Today it is the largest command in the Marine Corps, roughly 40,000 drilling Marines strong, made up of people balancing full civilian lives with full military readiness.

Members of this association do the same thing every week. We know exactly what that takes.

Share this post to recognize 110 years of Reserve Marines.

The most dangerous part of a child's school day happens before the first bell and after the last one.

NHTSA data shows more school-age pedestrians are killed between 6 and 8 in the morning and between 3 and 5 in the afternoon than during any other hours of the day. Those are exactly the windows when kids are walking to stops, cutting across parking lots, and heading home with headphones in.

A few things worth saying out loud to any child walking to school this year. Use the sidewalk whenever there is one. If there is not, walk facing traffic so you can see what is coming. Cross at corners and marked crossings, never between parked cars. And put the phone away for the length of the walk, because a driver who is not paying attention needs you to be the one who is.

Our members will be on those routes when the year starts. We are glad to be there.

Comment with the age of the kid in your life heading back to class.

The oldest military decoration still awarded in this country was created by hand, out of purple cloth, in 1782.

On August 7 of that year, George Washington issued general orders from his headquarters in Newburgh, New York establishing the Badge of Military Merit. It was described as the figure of a heart in purple cloth or silk, edged with narrow lace. Washington intended it to honor enlisted soldiers, at a time when Congress had forbidden him from granting promotions to recognize merit.

Only three men received it from Washington himself. Sergeant Elijah Churchill. Sergeant William Brown. Sergeant Daniel Bissell Jr.

Then it disappeared for 150 years, until 1932, when it was revived as the Purple Heart on the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth.

The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor estimates roughly 1.8 million have been awarded since. Every single one represents blood given in service to this country.

Today we honor every recipient and every family carrying that legacy.

Share this post in their honor.

Happy 236th birthday to the United States Coast Guard.

On August 4, 1790, at the request of Alexander Hamilton, Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters to patrol the young nation's coastline. That small fleet, originally called the Revenue Cutter Service, became the oldest continuous seagoing service in the United States.

Here is a detail most people never learn: from 1790 until the Navy was reestablished in 1798, those ten cutters were the only armed maritime force this country had. Eight years where the entire defense of the American coast rested on a handful of ships and the people who crewed them.

Today the Coast Guard carries out eleven statutory missions, from search and rescue to maritime law enforcement to environmental protection. Different tools, same job.

To everyone who has served, thank you for 236 years of standing watch.

Tag a Coast Guard veteran in the comments who deserves recognition today.

Semper Paratus. Always Ready.

๐ŸŒŸ Christmas in July is here, and yes, that is actually a thing.

In 1933, Keystone Camp in Brevard, North Carolina decided their summer campers should not have to wait until December to feel Christmas spirit. They put up a tree, exchanged gifts, and the tradition started spreading. Almost 100 years later, it is officially observed on July 25.

To the members of this association who spend so much of the real Christmas season at work, today is a small reminder that the people who serve our community deserve to feel a little holiday spirit too.

Drop a ๐ŸŽ„ in the comments to wish someone in our profession a Merry Christmas in July. Let's get the spirit going.

๐ŸŽ† Happy Fourth of July from this association to your family. ๐ŸŽ†

This year is different. America is celebrating its 250th birthday, and there is no better time to pause and appreciate what this country was built on.

A fun fact for the day: The first organized Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 4, 1777, exactly one year after the Declaration was signed. It included a 13-gun salute and the very first Fourth of July fireworks display. The tradition you are about to enjoy tonight is 249 years old.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Quick safety reminder while you are celebrating:

Light fireworks outdoors, far from people and buildings

Keep a hose or bucket of water nearby

Never relight a dud

Watch the kids around sparklers, which can reach 2,000ยฐF

Comment below with how you are spending the holiday. We would love to see how this community is celebrating.

87 years ago today, Congress established the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, a civilian volunteer force authorized to support nearly every non-military Coast Guard mission. It launched in 1939 and has not stopped serving since.

The Auxiliary patrols U.S. waterways, conducts safety inspections, assists in search and rescue, and provides public education on boating safety. Its members volunteer their time, their vessels, and often their personal resources to keep our waters safer.

According to official Coast Guard data, Auxiliarists save an average of 500 lives every year and assist with the safety of millions more. That is the impact of volunteer service done right.
