SPOTLIGHT: Supporting Police As The Body Of Christ

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

This episode of Illinois Family Spotlight features Dan Marquardt of We Love Police, an organization that dedicates itself to highlighting the untold good of police officers.

“We Love Police… spotlights the untold GOOD of our police officers… Through various resources, we uplift our police and their families holistically. Story by story, we will elevate the way Americans view our police…”

It has been well-documented that police officers have increasingly become demonized in our culture– especially since the George Floyd incident and BLM riots in 2020:

“A growing body of research has found that, after protests draw public attention to officer-involved killings, police officers become less proactive, pulling back from enforcing the law or other practices aimed at ensuring public safety due to fear of criticism, lawsuits, or low morale.”

Police officers deserve to receive support and respect from their communities, and through the ministry and work of We Love Police, police officers can tangibly feel the support and appreciation they need.

This is an encouraging episode that you do not want to miss.
