Some are born great some achieve greatness and some hire public relations officers.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

Money is power and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.

Government is a trust and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.

In my public service I treasure my friendship with law enforcement officers. I admire what they do and support them in every aspect of their job. I have always looked upon law enforcement officers as my friends.

You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.

They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica but I didn't take it seriously.

The senior officer who met with reporters in Baghdad said there had been 21 car bombings in the capital in May and 126 in the past 80 days. All last year he said there were only about 25 car bombings in Baghdad.

Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1 200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.

Duty is the great business of a sea officer all private considerations must give way to it however painful it may be.

We'll try to include Iraqi officers in our staffs. We will do everything we can to empower Iraqi security forces to stand up on their own and operate where they can alone.

Our country will I believe sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.
