good job

I don't know if it's a real good idea to put officer's names on here for the whole world of gang-bangers to see.

I know kudos are cool....but maybe you want to ask the officer's permission first.

Seems kinda dangerous to me.

Great job. This was obviously a well thought out plan. Congratulations to all officers involved.
