[Update Subscription Preferences]( Dear Police1 Member, We have heavy hearts as we pen this editor’s note mourning the first anniversary of the Uvalde school shooting. We remember the lives of those innocent children whose stories were brutally ended before they had a chance to unfold. These innocent souls were not merely numbers to be added to a growing list of victims. They were sons and daughters, siblings and cherished friends. They were individuals with hopes and dreams that will now remain unfulfilled. For the parents and loved ones who grapple with a reality that is too devastating to comprehend, our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Uvalde shooting was a heartrending reminder that the threat of such violent incidents is all too real. Let it also be a reminder that we must work tirelessly to ensure that no other community has to experience this level of grief and loss.
