"To all police in Burlington:
"Thank you for saving my niece's life March 14 of this year. I don't know who the officers were that found her passed on the street. I especially thank you for bringing her back to life. I think she would have died if they had not found her. She has done her time in jail, has a good job 6 days a week. Thank God for all of you. She is off drugs and off the streets. I thank every policeman and woman for what they are doing to get drugs out of Burlington and I got down on my knees and asked God to help or send her to jail. I think he answered bu sending her to jail. All of you stay safe and keep up the good work.
"Thank you
"I prayed for him to help two days before she got arrested."

"Chief, I have to say that the Burlington Police Department is one of the best in Alamance County! I and my children have always had positive encounters when we have visited the police department. My children are given colouring books, badges, and even a tour of both the police department, including one of the police cars. I wish I knew the names of all of the officers and I would say, 'thank you' to them all. I have been on the wrong side of the law in the past and even had some mental problems which included thoughts of suicide, however, the police officers have always made me fell like family and keeping me from hurting myself." - Christopher
