A Seattle citizen sends a very personal message of thanks to the Seattle Police officers who saved his life after a drive-by shooting two years ago this month. He tells his story not only to share his gratitude for all law enforcement, but also to help others see the good that officers do, the stories that don’t make news. As you will hear, he also is raising funds for two groups: YMCA’s Alive and Free Violence Prevention program to reduce gang violence, and The Seattle Police Foundation, a non-profit that helps fund needed training, equipment and community outreach for the Seattle Police Department. He also shares his tips on how fellow citizens can take a moment to show their thanks to law enforcement. If you’re an officer or related to someone is, you will be uplifted by Zach’s story and his message.
