Michelle Norton's Story

"Please know that in 24 years of law enforcement service, I have never been so moved as I was by the story of your crash and subsequent deaths of your sons. Your message came across loud and clear, without a hint of bitterness or revenge, which surely would have been an entirely legitimate reaction. I assure you this tape will be mandatory training and will remain so for all incoming recruits."
Police Chief in Michigan

"All of the members who viewed this video were, how shall I say it but, shocked and stunned with mixed emotions…this video shows that getting to a call for service safely…should always be one of our prime concerns"
Sergeant in Ontario

"I intend not only to have each officer in our department view the tape, but also continue to impress on our officers the dire seriousness of emergency vehicle operation"
Police Chief in Montana

"I am a 24- year veteran of my department and …I will tell you that this video is powerful and will get the message to viewers instantaneously and will not be soon forgotten like so many other training videos that we view."
Lieutenant in Massachusetts

"Watching your family's story, provided to our department by the IACP Foundation, brought tears to the eyes of a Chief who has served in various law enforcement assignments for 29 years… Be assured that your videotape will be shared with my entire staff at our next monthly meeting"
Police Chief in Iowa

"I am recommending that all officers of our department watch this video for roll call training. I know that our officers will benefit from the tape and hopefully they will keep your family in mind when they turn on the lights and sirens."
Sergeant in Kansas
