The black band

[Novichok]

My agency lost someone this weekend, and today was my first day wearing the black band. I had hoped that I would never have to wear one, but fate had other things in store. It is certainly not a pleasant feeling. I did not know the officer who was killed, but it still gets to you.

My prayers are with his family and our extended family in uniform as a whole.

Stay safe.

Sorry for your loss, I know it cuts deep.
