County Board passes resolution to stand with those behind the badge

BEMIDJI -- With officers from various law enforcement agencies present, the Beltrami County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution affirming its support of those who carry a badge.

County Board Chair Keith Winger had requested for a resolution be brought before the commissioners and read the full document before action was taken.

"The men and women of our nation's law enforcement agencies wear their uniforms with honor, dedication and integrity as they protect and serve their communities," the resolution states. "These uniforms have made them targets by those who seek to kill or injure law enforcement officers simply because of their profession and commitment to duty."
