I agree with Janet Barnes regarding our law enforcement people (“Show respect, thanks for law enforcement,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, Nov. 18).

There’s a shortage of law enforcement officers, as it’s often thankless work. I’m grateful they’re there and always do thank them.

From the Hibiscus Drive situation a couple of years ago, to people speeding in stolen cars and acting unpredictably (often on meth), law officers just don’t know what each day will bring. A heart-felt mahalo.
