A
word about the R-25 logo.
Yep, that's Theodore Roosevelt on the
horse. He was the only US president who was a cop. From
1895 to 1901 he rose from being NYPD Police Commissioner
to the 26th president. He lived and worked in the east and
west. One of his dearest friends was William (Buckey)
O"Neill, former mayor of Prescott, AZ, and sheriff of
Yavapai County.TR was the only US president to be awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal Honor.
President Roosevelt epitomizes the American spirit,
and no better symbol can be found.
BTW, the Theodore Roosevelt Trust
still gives an annual Police Officer of the Year
award.
