EDMOND, Oklahoma - Sergeant Gerald Dixon started with the Edmond Police Department in 1988. In that time, he’s touched a lot of lives in the Edmond community. Now as he plans his retirement, the department and the city are celebrating what he has meant to so many people.
Dixon has always known he wanted to be a police officer. It started in kindergarten when his teacher’s husband, a police officer, came to speak to his class. At that moment he knew his calling.
U.S. Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) proposed bipartisan legislation that aims to improve postpartum care for members of the United States Armed Forces and their dependents.
“Many of our military systems are created from the male perspective of service,” Rep. Bice said. “Now that more women than ever are joining the military, it’s important that we work to accommodate the needs of new moms and their newborns.”
