Recently I was speaking with another officer to ask him how things were going. He has been on the department for less than a year and is working midnight shift. We spoke of the troubles of adjusting to strange work hours, the impact of shift work on families, and how to personally deal with the stress of constantly witnessing the evil that humans perpetuate against each other. At the conclusion of our conversation, I reflected on how important it is to remain in fellowship with each other.
What is fellowship? The brotherhood of the blue line is well known. I can go anywhere in the country and find an instant friend in anyone who wears the badge – that is the Police Brotherhood. However, that brotherhood is not the type of fellowship to which I am referring.
