March 2, 2023

Good morning. Welcome to March.

Just under two weeks from today (as this is typed), the nation will celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Rivers will flow green, people will be pinched and people will be "pinched." There will be a lot of drunk driving arrests and plenty of disorderly conduct arrests to go around.

As much as I hate to have to even think it, remind your officers to be aware of the optics of everything. Remind them to remain professional in the face of stupidity and to not lose their temper even if it's the human thing to do. St. Patty's Day is on a Friday night, so it will be all the more crazy.

Stay safe!

Lt. Frank Borelli
