"Sometimes we forget that police officers are people too"

Believe 208 is an incredible event based out of Connecticut.
 

The Believe 208 5K Run for the Brave and Finest, in Memory of East Hartford Police Officer Paul Buchanan, supports "Believe 208", an initiative in collaboration with the Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement (CABLE).

Believe 208 works with CABLE to provide resources, training and information on all aspects of first responder well-being. The Believe 208 mission is to increase awareness of the unique challenges facing first responders and to be a trusted, influential source for first responders, their families, agencies and community stakeholders.

Proceeds from the race help to fund education and training efforts and provide resources to first responders and families in need.

A few years back, the owner of LET, Kyle Reyes, spoke at the beginning of the run.  The words you'll hear today share not just a story about getting pulled over in Texas... but a story about how cops are human, too.
