I was 10 years old when Officer Swart was murdered. He lived down the street from us in our neighborhood. The murders and the light sentence afterwards tore the community up. He was a good man and proud to serve his community.

It's been 40 years and I have not forgotten.

I will never forget.

My Brother...Yesterday I walked in your honor at the FOP Memorial Service. Its an honor that I am not sure I am worthy of, but I wanted to say I was humbled beyond words. You have paved the road to make my journey here one with pride and honor. As I now hire the future of this agency, you have my promise that I will only hire those who intend to carry on the good work you and the others who have made the ultimate sacrifice did. Rest in peace brother. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 34th anniversary year 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. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Dear Brian,

My younger sister found this page and told me about it. I don't even know what to say exactly except that your death tore our entire family apart. I was 19 that summer and remember being absolutely devastated at hearing the news. I particularly remember your mom's deep grief which just really became a(n understandable) part of her over the years. Your dad mourned more personally, but I know your death affected him as deeply. Even though 30+ years have passed, we have not forgotten you and your sacrifice. Thank you for choosing to serve and protect. We miss you as part of our extended family but know God has enfolded you in His loving arms. I am sorry we did not get to know each other as adults, but we will meet again someday. God bless.

I remember when this tragedy occured. I lived in Oxon Hill, MD at the time. Now that I am a Police Officer, I rembember these two young officers every so often, particularly when I am in the booking area of the jail when I make arrests. May God grant them peace in realm of everlasting light and joy, where tears are no more.

Brian,
Has it been thirty years ? It seems like yesterday. I am the last one left who was there that night. I celebrated my thirty five year anniversary yesterday.(Old man now)
I miss you guys. I can't look at the old station without thinking of you. We sure had fun back then didn't we ? That was me at the cemetary today. I guess you already knew that ?
Your memory lives on. You are not forgotten.

Until we meet again

Brian,

Thirty (30) years have passed since that tragic event that took you and Rusty from us. The pain of that day still cuts like a knife. Both you and Rusty were an inspiration to me in life and your deaths inspired me to choose my path in law enforcement. I cherish the times we spent together and will NEVER forget either of you...
