SSPBA stands with law enforcement

We stand with the men and women of law enforcement who are dedicated to the noble cause of protecting and serving all members of communities large and small across our great nation.  We know the pride that so many officers feel when they put on that badge, and we understand the weight that so many carry as they work.  They balance their safety with daily duties to make our streets safe, acknowledge the rights of all Americans, and keep citizens from harm.  SSPBA is proud to support the law enforcement officers who professionally serve all citizens.

But it's also possible that he takes an even more interesting path ? he's interested in traveling the world and performing on stage, for example ? because if one thing's for sure about Jackson, it's that he's willing to branch out and try new things that he finds exciting ? even if they're unconventional.
