Oliver in “Unfinished Business”

Oliver

[addressing the Police Academy graduates] Thank you all for being here. In light of the recent attacks on the SCPD, tonight's ceremony is incredibly important. And while we need to mourn the loss of life, I feel the need to mention that this city is better off than it has been in quite some time. Crime is down. Our streets are peaceful. People are not only moving here, they are staying here. And do you want to know why? It's because you help them feel safe. You have chosen a profession. One of the most dangerous professions in the world. Whereas other people run from danger, you run towards it, time and time and time again. And for that, we all owe you a huge debt of gratitude. So, thank you. Thank you for protecting our families, for protecting us, and for protecting our beautiful city. Thank you.
