Snow Strands C.O.P.S. Reps
30 inches of snow was successful at shutting down Washington and stranding C.O.P.S. reps who had been in DC for National Police Week meetings. Both Tracie Patton and Suzie Sawyer got out of DC on February 7 between storms; but C.O.P.S. President Jennifer Thacker won't get out until February 13!! She's now tied up there because of the effects of the second storm. |

Testimonial
To All of You at National C.O.P.S.!
Thank you for sending the remembrance card... the most satisfying thought is that every survivor gets one, the organization that is made up of all of us. That we all share together a common goal. What a blessing it is to have and be part of such great people.
