Much attention has been paid to the actions of a few, whether those actions turn out to be justified or not. The criticism and subsequent attacks on law enforcement have been felt nationwide, including in our own area. However, what has been called the “silent majority” has also been more vocal in support of law enforcement officers, both nationally and locally. The Board of Directors of the Dubuque Police Protective Association, on behalf of those we represent, would like to say thank you.
