Tucson police dog Sam is shown with Officer Quinton Gleason in this 2006 photo.
Tucson cops go through a lot. They get yelled at, fled from and shot at.
They find dead bodies under overpasses.
Don’t forget they are also stuck wearing stifling uniforms in the searing Tucson heat.
Next Tuesday provides a chance to say thank you.
Tucson Police Foundation and M&I Bank invite community to honor officers on “Thank a Cop Day” June 2
Bring a thank you card to participating bank branches, sign an oversized card set up at the branch or have kids color special cards for the officers.
