Your heroism and service is honored today, the 77th 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

As I sit hear at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (I.L.E.A.) and read Officer Wolfes' memorial page I can't help but think about the differences from then and now. As I already stated, I am at I.L.E.A. and will be hear for 15 weeks come graduation and most officers here will go through approximately 6 weeks to 3 months field training prior to being released to work on our own. Now, I am not exactly sure what type of training was offered in Omaha in 1935, or when ever Officer Wolfe began his tour of duty, but I imagine it was next to none. While some people like to complain about the amount of training required of us, I perfer to be thankful especially when I read this web site and view the officers that had lost their life due to the fact that this type of training did not even exist and they were not even given the chance to train in their days.

My father, Officer Clarence Drehsen, was holding Officer Wolfe in his arms when he died from gunshot wounds. My father loved Officer Wolfe, and always told me what a wonderful person he was. Aside from being partners, they were also friends. Clarence Drehsen died in 1955, twenty years after being shot during the same incident. The bullet lodged in his left tibia and remained in the bone marrow causing leukemia. In my opinoin as a physician, his early death at age 45 was a result of the same gun battle that killed Officer Wolfe.

Office Wolfe was my grandfather's brother. My grandfather was not able to see the memorial to Omaha's fallen officers, but he was touched beyond words when he saw the pictures, especially the close-ups showing his brother's name. Thank you Officer Wolfe. I wish I could have known you.
