    When @AACOPD Detective Ian Preece was released from the hospital after being shot by a homicide suspect a few weeks ago, those waiting to greet him included P&P field office teams from Glen Burnie and Annapolis, who bought him a canvas with his image and badge number.

    Our @AmericasVetDogs puppies aren't so little any more and have progressed greatly! What makes this program so special is that it impacts both the trainer and the Veteran who will receive the trained dog; offering hope and expanding opportunities to all parties involved!
