Today's date, Feb 22, also written as 2/22 is the same as Matson's badge number 222 with the Waseca Police Department. I'm all for making this date, February 22, a day in which Minnesota honors all law enforcement and first responders, each year.
Waseca Police Officer Arik Matson continues his road to recovery eight months after being shot in the head while responding to a report of a suspicious person on the night on January 6th.
