She shared this photo because she wanted to show a different side of police work, one that doesn't make headlines but is just as important.
Officer Lohnes wants people to understand that police officers are humans too, she said, "We're all human," said Lohnes. "All of us are. We all want to get along and have a good relationship. No one wants to hate the other side."
She went back to visit the woman, Priscilla, on Tuesday and found out that EMS units also come to help her every day. Officer Lohnes thinks they're the real heroes that people should recognize.
