NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Making her way up the steep flight of stairs to the entrance of the Newport Beach Police Station on a Tuesday morning, 93-year-old former Citizens’ Academy volunteer Dotty McDonald was grinning from ear to ear.

“This is one of my favorite days of the year,” McDonald told The Epoch Times. “I just love supporting our police. I always say, ‘God, Country, and the Blue!’”
