They should be thanking us for working till we're 70 to support their pensions when they retire at 50.

Mr. Hamill, if you wanted to retire at age 50, you should have gone into a profession that allows you to.
Do you want a 70 year old police officer protecting you. Also the average life expectancy in the US is 78.2. Average life expectancy for a police officer is 58.

Thanks Wendy ;)

@rob please fill me in-what exactly are the details of their pensions?

The City of Allentown was almost bankrupted a few years ago when so many officers and firefighters retired a few years back because the officers worked overtime and then used those hours to determine their pension.

thank you officers for investigating the murder in south whitehall on leh street

Thanks to the officers of the Emmaus PD, and especially Officer Rich, our foot patrol in downtown. I'm glad there is a special day to recognize you all.

Thank you to Chris Leidy from Lower Saucon Police Dept. A very patient and kind person. Thank you for your service. Brian & Paula Steuer

I would like to also thank our Emmaus and surrounding police departments for ALL they do. I've picked up the habit of listening to the scanner at night and can't begin to imagine sending my loved ones onto the streets to deal with the unknown. With all the recent activity in Emmaus (bank robberies, etc.), I'm still happy to say I feel secure in our police department and am confident that they do all they can to keep us protected. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to each and every officer out there. I recently met Officer Fox and his wife this past summer at a hockey tournament. Her and I talked for two days straight almost non stop. I held their child and watched Brad as he blew kisses to his baby girl through the glass. He was so excited to have another one on the way. I met his aunt and uncle that weekend too, just the nicest family. It is so sad that he lost his life protecting us, but that is what police do everyday without thinking twice. On this national day of recognition it was also Brad's birthday. He will be sorely missed, and never forgotten along with all the other officers that have laid down their life to protect us.

Thank you to all police officers! :) xoxoxoxoxox

Thank you to all police officers for helping to keep us safe and for being willing to risk your lives to protect us.

This is a wonderfull story that reminded us about national tell a police officer thank you day and paid tribute to fallen officers that made the ultimate sacrifice. Then i read the first comment and all i could think of was wow what a loser this rob hamill guy must be.

I would like to thank each and every police officer that puts there life on the line each and every day to make our communities safe.

Ron Hamill, it's people like you that make our jobs as police officers difacult for the little money we make for what we do and you want to complain about our retirement. Try doing our job then let's see what you think about the retirement. From a long devoted police officer
