I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. A beautiful wife and two healthy kids. I have great friends and work for the greatest Police Dept. in the world.
As a Police Officer in Philadelphia you get a front row seat to "the greatest show on Earth".
When you view my photos I hope you can put aside all of your prejudices about the Police and remember that there is a man or woman inside that uniform and we are as human as you.
We have families and want to go home to them every night. No Police Officer starts their day hoping to use deadly force and be second guessed for every move they make.
Remember we have no capes or big "S" on our chests.
I hope I have changed your opinion and thinking towards Law Enforcement.

    "The photo's Phillycop takes and shares with us. Is only the tip of what Officers go through 24/7. The photo's of one or two Officers smiling for the camera. Shows a friendship that goes deeper than what most of us get to experience. Having to say "Goodbye" to a friend. I would have to say is the hardest part of an Officers job.
    Everything you and your comrades do Phillycop matters. From helping a small child find their way back home. To making that ultimate sacrifice.
    Thank you and God Bless.
    Cliff"

    "My LE Brother " Phillycop" has shown both sides of the " job" through his photos. The pictures he takes about police life show the average citizen that we as police officers are also human, and not " robo-cops" as some people believe. That we laugh, we cry, we care, just as every other person does on planet Earth. Through his photos he has shown that we as LE professionals do not always think about " the bust" as some people portray us.
    Through his photos of the LE Funerals he has proven that no matter which Department you may work for.... we are family!
    I am truly honored to have Officer Fidler as my friend and LE Brother."

    "Phillycop shows a side of the job that a majority of society does not see or cares to see. Behind the badge is a human being. A father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister & friend. I applaud him for his honorable portrayal of our brothers & sisters in blue, the sacrifices they make and the heartbreak placed upon their families and fellow officers when they pay the ultimate sacrifice to protect society. It has been an honor and priviledge to work with these fine officers such as Phillycop at various times in the past 20 years. Please remember we see a part of society that most people never see and do not care to see. The call is always answered by these brave warriors."
