I have been so blessed to have known Dennis in this life. He trained me as an officer and a friend if but for the short time we had together. With the mourning of the passing of another comrade in Moore County Rick Rhyne I find myself full again of loss. I know that there will be a big hug from Dennis and a welcoming into God's Kingdom. May there be peace to all the families throughout this time.

I had the privilege of knowing Dennis (he and my brother were friends). With the shooting today in Moore County, my thoughts are drawn to Officer Sheffield. I am reminded of those special men and women who serve and protect their communities. Their selflessness. Their courage. May his memory continue to inspire others who faithfully serve every day and may God protect and keep those who continue "to fight the good fight."

"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.

Over 17 years ago I was a member of the police explorers program. I was awarded a plaque in honor of Dennis Sheffield for my academic record during a mini police training camp. This plaque hangs on my office wall in memory of this fellow Officer. When I was new it reminded me of how dangerous our job can be and also how Officers give their lives to the profession and to the citizens we serve.

Rest in peace as we continue to fight the good fight.
