HONORING OUR POLICE - BACK THE BLUE
NEXT EVENT IS APRIL 30 IN GERMANTOWN
by Susan Baker
The first Back the Blue (BTB) event of 2024 was held on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Being my first one, I learned that all the Republican Women’s Clubs (Chevy Chase, Potomac, Rural, and Upper County) and the MCGOP Republican Central Committee have actually been involved in this effort supporting our police for the past five years. I arrived at Police District 4 with several others and helped them set up, bringing food, drinks, snacks and signs of support for the police.
Officers and staff came and went. Some stayed a bit, and we mingled and talked with them with happy spirits all around. I had an especially good conversation with three officers with whom I shared my experiences taking the MC Police Citizens’ Academy. They all said how pleased they were that I had attended, enjoyed, and learned so much about the work they do, and that I am an alumna of the Academy (I had my badge on). I shared an exciting conversation with one of the officers about community household security, the available systems, and the physical aspects. I learned a lot. I goofed and ate a cookie, and the Officer I was talking with said that it was OK that I had eaten their cookie… "It is a good thing" … as he patted his belly.
