I walked out OCing and spoke with him in regards to the stolen property. He asked what I was carrying and if I OCed often. I told him every day I do. He informed me his departments question of the day a few weeks ago was "Is OC legal". To his shock several officers said no. Thankfully it was corrected and they have been retrained on OC. He also stated that they had received a BOLO on me after a previous OC event. I was also told 99% of the officers support my actions in the area and to keep it up. He also asked to invite the department to any future picnics in the area. Most of all I loved that a few of my non supportive neighbors witnessed him and I talking for 30 minutes and ending in a handshake.

Excellent!!!
For what it's worth, a brief letter to the officer and his immediate supervisor goes a long way. Justsomething short letting them know that you appreciate his professional demeanor and assistance.
When was the last time someone wrote to your boss & told him you did your job?
This officer didn't do ANYTHING that every officer SHOULDN'T do every day.
It says a lot when someone doing what they get paid for is the exception rather then the rule.
Do you ever have a nice meal at a fine dining restaurant and thank your server for excellent service and a compliment to a chef?
Positive feedback is a way to make sure that LEOs know we also see the good that they do and can be a reinforcement that we are not their enemies and in fact when treated accordingly we are on their side and support them.
