Sworn to serve
empowered to protect
together we stand
our loyalty never suspect.
We are a team.
We work as one.
Our job is stressful
and rarely fun.
Support is a must
of our friends, our peers
so don't betray but
provide a confidential ear.
Although we quarrel
and at times disagree,
When it counts and you need me,
I'll be there dependably.
Just remember a cop...
is both hated and endeared,
but our faith in each other
should never be feared.
