Reflections for Sergeant Jay Elmo "Jerry" Wignall

I walk by Sergeant Wignall's picture on the wall of the Tucumcari Police Department several times a week. My wife is a police officer there and I am a State officer, I have been in the building where SGT Wignall was shot. I pray that I fulfill the legacy that SGT Wignall and all the other officers listed on this site lived for. May you rest in peace and know that your sacrifice was not in vane and you are thought about every time I walk past the picture of you and I honor you and your family.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 45th 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.

Rest In Peace
