Both Bloomington and Normal's police chiefs say that events like the attack in Dallas will not stop officers from doing their jobs.
"We do what we can to go out there and make positive relationships with the community because that's what's going to carry us through the day, through the high points and the low points,” says Normal Police Chief Rick Bleichner.
Bloomington Police Chief Brendan Heffner adds, "Our sensitivities are high right now. But we have a job to do. We have each other, and we stick together and work hard."
Heffner says there is no justification for the attack in Dallas and that people and police must stand together.
