What do you think of when you hear the words, “police officer”? Odds are, the person next to you will think of something different. We all view reality through different lenses, and sharing experiences is what creates unity.  We are police officers, and most of the time you hear our stories from someone else. We hear them, too, and they sound so stereotypical. Well, this is us. We’re telling our stories here, and this Uniformed Reality may not be as uniform as you think.
