Jim
Thanks for your service to Las Vegas, Clark County, the state of Nevada and to this great nation. Your sacrifice is appreciated. Your agency is alive and well and has grown exponentially. I've often worked with Las Vegas Metro officers through the years and you'd be proud of your agency.

In 1972 it was past legal curfew you changed my life for the better, I was just a long haired high school teen that JDLR. You were incharge of the Boy Scout Explorer program and gave me two options. One take me into juvenile hall or two cut my hair and report to the next Sheriff Explorer meeting, needless to say my hair was cut and I stayed with the program until I graduated from high school. I hit the books and have been working as a public servant for 33 years 10 of those years in law enforcement and the rest incharge of incarcerated inmates fighting wildland fires. Yes I was going down the wrong path but you not only turned me around but quite a few of the guys in our post that went into law enforcement. Jim you did good, you protected society, you made a difference and you saved some souls.

First time meeting Officer Rogan I was working as a gas station attnedant on Las Vegas Boulevard South, a block north of Sahara avenue. Officer Rogan pulled in on his police motorcycle, stopped and began a conversation. He was extremly personable, and seemed honestly interested in how I was doing, how my family was doing, and was there anything he could do to make the streets safer. Officer Rogan was not only a Peace Officer, he was a gentleman who cared about his community. Officer Rogan stopped by several times after, and remembered my name each time.

I was truly saddened by the event that took this man's life. As I reflect upon my brief encounters with him, I hope his family knows he was an honorable man.

This officer was my father-in-law. Neither me nor my kids have never met him. The only way I knew him was through my ex-wife - his daughter's - stories. He was very good father and husband.

May his soul rest in peace!

"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.
