Thank your police officers...even in the "Davidson Bubble" it is a risky job

Great to have these guys off the street!

You'll notice that one of these guys lived in town - the one listed as a "habitual felon".  That makes him the worst of the lot.

Many think that we in Davidson live in a bubble and nothing bad ever happens here.  After all, the town does regularly rank as one of the safest in the state.

However, with a guy like that walking around, something bad could happen at any time.

That's not meant to scare you.  It's meant to point out that our police officers do face dangerous situations and can come across dangerous people on any given night - even here.

Next time you see one of them, thank them for doing what they do.
