The Feb. 22 Battle of the Badges hockey event at Big Boy Arena between the Warren and Chesterfield Township police departments will benefit the family of Warren Police Officer Nick Kott who was seriously injured last November after falling from his hunting blind.

Warren Police Detective Chris Wells used to talk hockey with his co-worker, officer Nick Kott, and the were teammates on the Warren PD hockey team for several years.

“Nick was on our hockey team and has played in every single charity game we have had,” said Wells. “We talked hockey all of the time, and when his son Jack started getting into it, he was really proud.”

Last November, Kott was seriously injured when he fell from a hunting blind on his property in Gladwin and has been hospitalized since then. The injury caused him to be paralyzed from the neck down.

A government watchdog group reports an office within HHS spent $22 billion on migrants over the last few years. The total tab picked up by U.S. taxpayers. According to the report, money went toward buying cars, homes, and help with credit scores.

The majority of money went toward unaccompanied minors, despite the office facing criticism last year for losing track of thousands of kids who never showed up their court dates.

Happy President’s Day to the GOAT

JD Vance

103 years ago, Officer Leroy Wood made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. While bravely pursuing a burglary suspect, a tragic ricochet took his life. Today, his legacy stands tall with a street topper at McKinney Avenue and Woodall Rodgers Freeway.

Generations later, we still remember his courage, his dedication, and his sacrifice. To his family in attendance today—your hero will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Officer Wood. We’ve got the watch. 💙

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Officer Robert Fryc of the Glenview Police Department, Illinois.

They will focus on strengthening coordination efforts and resource management as Kentucky persists with its response operations. With California in constant coordination with emergency officials, additional support can be deployed if necessary.
