It's National Police Week, and Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers is highlighting the good work of his officers.

Law enforcement agencies have struggled recently to retain staff, and the Chief is hopeful some officers they have going through training right now will allow them to be fully staffed for a while.

If you follow the Clinton Police Department on Facebook, you have noticed the spotlight the Chief is putting on his staff. He says they are having a lot of fun with those posts, but they also want the community to understand there is a person with a story inside those squad cars.

In just the last few years, the environment for law enforcement has been quite hazardous, but the Chief believes we are starting to see a swing back to a respect for law enforcement and its importance in a community.

Thursday of this week was Peace Officer Memorial Day.
