Today is National Move Over Day. Only two in three drivers believe the law requires them to do anything special when they pass a stopped police car on the roadside.

That is from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's 2025 national survey. For tow trucks, it was 58 percent. And among drivers who did know the law applied, fewer than half knew it asks them to slow down, not just change lanes.

All 50 states have a move over law. Hawaii was the last to pass one, in 2012. The rule is simple: when you see flashing lights on the shoulder, move over a lane if you safely can. If you cannot, slow down well below the limit until you are past.

In 2025, 36 roadside responders were struck and killed by passing vehicles, according to the Emergency Responder Safety Institute. Law enforcement, fire and EMS crews, tow operators, road service and highway workers, all standing a few feet from traffic doing their jobs.

Members of this association work that shoulder. So do the tow drivers and road crews beside them.

The best conversations between a community and its police do not happen on a call. They happen over coffee.

That is the entire premise of National Coffee with a Cop Day, held on the first Wednesday of October, which this year falls on October 7. It started in Hawthorne, California in 2011 and has since been held in all 50 states and in countries around the world.

No speeches. No agenda. Just a chance to ask the questions that never fit into a traffic stop or a report: what the new sign on the corner means, how to report something without calling 911, what the job is actually like.

The members of this association are neighbors first. Most of them will tell you the coffee is the easy part. The listening is what matters.

George Vaughn Seibold was 23 years old, an aviator, and he was killed over France in 1918. His remains were never identified.

His mother, Grace Darling Seibold, spent the war visiting wounded servicemen in Washington hospitals, looking for her son among them and caring for the ones she found. She never got a grave to visit. What she did instead was find other mothers in the same position and refuse to let them sit alone with it.

On June 4, 1928, twenty five of those mothers met in Washington and founded American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. Congress granted the organization a federal charter in 1984. It is still operating today.

Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day is observed on the last Sunday in September, this year on the 27th. Congress set the date in 1936, and the President is asked each year to call on Americans to fly the flag in recognition.

A hundred and eight years after a telegram arrived at the Seibold house, the answer to it is still the one Grace found. You do not fix this for a family. You stay near them.

Share this post in their honor.

Several members of the Carrollton Police Officers Association, along with their spouses, had the honor of attending the Saving A Hero’s Place Gala in San Antonio. Great food, great fun, and some amazing auction items, all while raising money for an incredible organization. 💙

Saving A Hero’s Place creates handcrafted Honor Chairs for first responders who have made the ultimate sacrifice, permanently saving their place within the departments they served.

This mission is especially personal to us in Carrollton. In May 2023, Robbie and Tommy brought their mobile shop to Carrollton to build an Honor Chair for our own Officer Steven Nothem. Many of us had the privilege of working alongside them, as well as Steven’s dad, Steve, and Peggy, to help build his chair. Today, it remains in our briefing room, forever saving Steven’s place.

To date, Saving A Hero’s Place has saved the seats of 333 fallen heroes across our nation. That’s 333 heroes whose service, sacrifice, and legacy will never be forgotten.

We were honored to support this incredible organization and the work they continue to do for our fallen heroes, their families, and their departments. 💙

Their place will always be saved.
