Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad from our
NLPOA National President
Feliz Navidad NLPOA members. I wish each and every one of you a safe and merry holiday season. I know many of you will be working extra shifts during the holiday season. Please take some time out for you and your family and enjoy the little time that a career in law enforcement offers. Thank you for what you do each and every week and thank you for your dedication to the NLPOA. As we continue to grow, we are not yet where we need to be. We must continue doing what we do so our children can have an easier life and not have to fight all of the battles that we have had to fight. Enjoy the holidays and stay safe.
Respectfully yours, Cindy M. Rodriguez NLPOA National President [email protected]
