Hey Mike...it's your big sis here. I am amazed at how far you have come, not only in your professional life but spiritual as well.
People don't realize how difficult a job police officers have. It's not all fun and games like seen on television shows. The dangers are real each time you leave the station. Of course not all of it is about the offenders. You get to be out in the community and make a difference in lives. I'm sure there are people you have met who just needed someone to tell them hello.
Being a police officer is not just about making arrests. It is also about making a difference in the lives of people and their communities. There are so many people out there who have no one to talk to, many of which are straying down the wrong road. Who better to help them than a police officer who can open their eyes to what making the wrong decisions in life can do.
As much as I admire what you do, it takes a special person to go out there each and every day and continue on despite of the situations being placed in.
I am glad to see that you are emphasising the importance of God in peoples' lives. No one has to be alone, all they have to do is call on God. You may not get the answer you want from him, but guaranteed it will be the right one for you.
Welcome to the Charlotte PeaceKeepers Blog. I hope that the experinces I share with you are helpful in fellow Police Officers spiritual growth. Please feel free to leave any comments and thank you for visiting!

This is a picture of the Air Force Seal taken in Mississippi at the Armed Forces Memorial. I was there with my church on a short term mission trip in Oct 06 and Dec 06
I have been a member of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department since 2001. I am married to a wonderfull wife and have an awesome step-daughter!
Prior to being hired by the CMPD I was a Security Force memeber in the United States Air Force for 4 years. I served in Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Goldsboro NC.
I am a young believer in Christ. On Easter Sunday 2006 I accepted Christ into my life and have been on fire ever since. Once I accepted Christ as my Lord I soon had a burden for Police Officers that do not know Christ.
I was the typical officer that thought "how can you be a Police Officer and a Christian at the same time." It didn't make sense to me, at first. But when I accepted Christ I thought "how could I be a Police Officer and NOT know Christ."
I found the PeaceKeepers Bible study and it showed me that ALL Police Officers are given authority by God and is a devine appointment and the area we work is our mission field!
