The Woman Behind The Badge

This post is dedicated to the women who are married to a police officer.

The woman behind the badge serves in her own quiet way. 
The uniform she wears is not adorned with insignia of rank and honor.
Instead of a commissioned gun at her hip, she holsters a child.

The woman behind the badge serves in her own quiet way.
Dispatched to calls here and there, she completes tasks at a moment's notice.
She plans days, meals, events, and more around odd hours of sleep.

The woman behind the badge serves in her own quiet way.
When called to protect and serve she is there with a hug and a kiss.
She works dutifully behind the scenes, often without recognition.

The woman behind the badge serves in her own quiet way.
Honor, loyalty, and integrity are the characteristics she has sworn to uphold.
The officer she stands behind leaves each shift with the confidence of love.

The woman behind the badge serves in her own quiet way.
Though she may not have chosen this sometimes lonely life, she chose the one who wears the badge.


Police officers are special people.  They are called to this honorable career.  Most people cannot do what they do day in and day out.  Police officers put their lives on the line each time they put on their uniform and call in 10-41 to Dispatch.  They work odd hours and miss family events of their own, all so your family can safely enjoy the events you have planned.  The blessed officers have families who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary so their officers can do what they love.  The blessed officers have women who stand behind them with love, support, and no regrets so their officers can go out into the streets of the world and focus on the task at hand.
