*Updated

The town of Bedford, VA proudly displayed "In God We Trust" on our law enforcement vehicles. This phrase is more than just words; it echoes our nation's history and our community's heritage. Recently, the Bedford Police Department removed these words from the vehicles of those who serve our community. It is a symbol of the guiding principles that have long united us as a nation and a community. Let us stand together to ensure that our voices are heard.

We, the undersigned, believe that such significant changes should reflect the will of the people of this town. Therefore, through this petition, we respectfully request that the statement "In God We Trust" be placed back onto the police vehicles of the Bedford Police Department. Furthermore, we urge our local police department to establish a protocol that includes community input for future decisions of this nature.

*Note: It must be made clear that this petition is concerning the vehicles for the local Police Department of the Town of Bedford, not the Bedford County Police Department. We also urge all who contact any law enforcement personnel to communicate with respect, patience, and love.
