Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 32nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace today. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflection.

Rest In Peace.

Back in 1980 my family and I were just returning from our L.A. vacation an as we were driving thru Arizona we were stopped by a State Trooper who advised me of the shooting of a CSPD officer. I had just completed my 1st year as a CSPD patrolman and was unaware of what had happened back home. I think of you often Augustus in my thoughts & prayers.

Ofc. Perreira, while it's true I never had the honor of meeting you I can tell you that I would have liked you. I know this because you wore a badge and because of all the things that have been said about you on this site. I was fortunate enough to ride through your city a year or two ago on a cross country trip. I met two CCPD officers there. They were very kind and professional. I have pain in my heart for your family and friends at your loss. But I am believing with all my heart that all of you will be reunited one day when their journey is over here. Until then, rest in peace my Brother.

This marks the 30th year of my brothers death, and yet it seems like yesterday. His son is now 38 and a wonderful man, and father to his son who is 12. None of us go a day without missing this man we loved so much. We live in Arizona now, The loss of officers her recently brings it all back. I grieve for those families, so much, The one think I do know is that he was a remarkable and caring man and his memory will live on forever. We'll never forget the kindness of the law enforment agency, and the peple of Colorado as long as we love.

Patrolman Perreira - I've seen your photo many times while attending training at the CSPD Academy. Three weeks ago, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Police Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.

Thank you for you service to the people of Colorado Springs and the state of Colorado. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

Timmy, your time with us was way too short. But what fun we had. Your smile made the rest of us smile. You were a good friend and a terrific cop. You are dearly missed, but your memory will go on in our hearts as long as we walk this earth. God bless you and your family always.

For twenty five years I have carried this last name and didnt really know why. Although I am not connected to you in blood, I proudly carry the name Perreira with me, and hope I can have at least half of the honor and duty you showed.

We said a prayer for you today.
We sent you good thoughts, surrounded you with hope and faith and love.
We asked your guardian angels to protect you and keep you safe, and blanket you with joy and contentment and peace and prosperity.
We asked that you be guided with the wisdom to make choices to enhance your life and the awareness to make changes that are in your best interest.
We wished for a storhouse of apportunities, the ability to meet your goals, and the joy of your own approval and acceptance.
We wished for you your heart's desire, every need met every prayer answered, and every dream come true.
We prayed for you today.
We asked that you be prepared for whatever life handed or whatever you were going through.
We asked that your spirit be strong and lead you and guide you each step of the way down every path you took. We asked the universe to confirm for you that your someone very special.
We asked the earth to be good to you, and we asked god to show his perfect way.
We prayed for you today.

To you and to every family of every Police Officer

The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Tim was a fine man. We will always be proud that he served his country, and the state of Colorado with honor. We miss him everyday of our lives, and know that we are not alone. Our thoughts are with every other family who has lost a loved one. My family will never forget the care and goodness of the Colorado Springs Police Department, the wonderful people of Colorado Springs and to Mr. Nolan. God bless you all.
