Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Rest in peace Officer Schulz. 16 years later on the very day it was a Thanksgiving Night when my mother passed. I used to go out with a friend named Andrea and we went to movies at the Bakery Centre.Knew her about 10 years when she too passed after an illness.

In your memory, our police station, rebuilt in the early 90's, bears your name. In 2007, the twentieth anniversary of your supreme sacrifice, a memorial stone badge was erected prominently at the station entrance. We were honored to bring your widow, Becky, your mother, brother and other family members from all over the U.S. to a ceremony dedicating that memorial. Your family was taken to the portion of Red Road (SW 57 Avenue) dedicated in your name and to the Miami Dade Police Memorial site where your family viewed your name honorably inscribed in perpetuity to be viewed by all who come. As this is written in 2020, 33 years after you were taken from us too early, the memorial at the police station has been refurbished and is more beautiful as ever - thanks to members of the Police Dept and community who never knew you but are determined to ensure you are never forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 22nd 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you.

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.

We have just this week honored the 20th anniversary of the passing of Danny. In addition to being one of his co-workers and supervisors we were boating buddies, etc. He was one of my closest friends and I remember and reflect upon him often. The three kids who stabbed him were allowed to ultimately continue with their lives, albeit one after several years in prison. But it can never make up for our loss. Danny would be proud to know that many of his friends assembled for the dedication this week, some from far away and some who I had not seen in 10 or more years.

Dan was one of the finest men I ever had the pleasure to serve with. You could always count on him when the chips were down and I'll never forget his grin when things got really scary. We'll miss you buddy. Scott

Your officer did not lose his life-he gave it in service. He will always be remembered as the hero he is.
I hope that the loved ones, friends, and brothers and sisters of the badge of Officer Schulz have found some confort in the memories of happier times with him.
