I think it's more to the credit of like the public safety Foundation to like honor the everyday officer than something that I did that was exceptional or extraordinary.
Sarah has this really unique ability to um to serve with a heart of of passion and empathy and comfort but she can also quickly ratchet things up and take command presence.
