Dedicated to those whom have paid the "Ultimate Sacrifice" in service to the citizens of Bucks County, may we never forget them and their families.

The Police Officer's Prayer

Almighty God, Whose great power and eternal wisdom embrace the universe, watch over all police and law enforcement officers. Protect them from harm in the performance of their duty to stop crime, robberies and riots, and violence. We pray, help them keep our streets and homes safe day and night. We recommend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous. Grant them your unending strength and courage in their daily assignments. Dear God, protect those brave men and women. Grant them your almighty protection and unite them safely with their families after duty ends.  Amen
