Sometimes it’s easy to criticize the badge.
People complain about police officers until the worst day of someone’s life arrives. Then they’re the first ones everyone hopes will come.
Today I watched Regina Police officers sprint into a home where a baby was in medical distress. Seconds later they came running back out, carrying that baby straight to waiting paramedics and firefighters. There was no hesitation. Just people doing everything they could to give that child a chance.
Today, that baby survived.
We don’t always see these moments. They don’t always make the headlines. But they happen every single day. Behind every uniform is someone willing to run toward a stranger’s emergency while everyone else is running away.
When seconds matter and a life hangs in the balance, these men and women show up.
Today was a prime example of how Police, Fire and EMS work together so we can be safe in our community.
