Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

After many years I just watched a training video that I got from you years ago. I was getting it ready for my son who now works at a large local Department. I retired from Police work the year we lost you. You were an inspiration to so many and were a great friend to me and my guys. Because of the work guys like us have done we Pray the world is a better place.God Bless you Robbie and I miss you Friend.

Robbie, I still remember you from when we were kids and you lived next door. Even though you, your brothers and my brother Jeff used to run me off, we did have some good times playing in the woods by the house. Jeff joined you in 2007. He also died much too young. I wanted to write that your sacrifice has not been forgotten. I hope your family has been able to find peace and happiness. Rest in peace.

Something today got my mind thinking of my hero, the guy I wanna impress. Its been 11 years now but work is still being done in your name by the small percentage of LEOs looking for that next big stop. People all over the world know you, the legend. Robbie just keep a watch on our back, and give us that extra nudge or gut feeling when that next truck rolls by. God bless ya brother.

Robbie,

I never got to meet you. But I will say, I was introduced to your video in the 1990"s that you had made of all your seizure's. Sir, You were my HERO, and I used to watch your video almost every night before I went to work to motivate me. You will NEVER be forgotten.

Robbie: You've been on my mind all day. I was talking with a group of officers last week and mentioned your name. Most said they knew you and the others, young men and women in their 20s recognized your name.

It's been 11 years today and you're still missed and thought of with love, awe and great respect.

I look forward to seeing you again when I get there Robbie.

Robbie,
You came to one of my crime prevention programs when you were in elm school. After that day at the school you were around almost all the time, wanting to be a ventriloquist and magician. I had no problem with that but when you said I want to be a police officer, I replyed NO YOU DON'T! but that went into one ear and out the other. Robbie sometimes I wish you had listen to me, but I realize it was to be your life.
I miss you coming by and seeing me, and I am so very proud of how you turned out. I wish life had been different and in all the years I served as an officer I would have traded places with you because you turned out to be the best.
I never met your family but I know they are great from knowing you. I miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Just returned from the NCEA 2009 Winter Conference. It was an outstanding conference. You were honorably remembered and are greatly missed. Although I did not know you personally, talking to a few officers who did makes me realize that I missed out. I thank you for your teachings and willingness to share your knowledge with officers nation wide. You are an inspiration to all of us involved in Criminal Interdiction!

Robbie: It's been ten years and a day since I was in that particular building in Villa Rica. If there were any dry eyes near that flag draped coffin, I didn't see them. It was raining where I stood. You were there that day and though none could see you, your presence was evident.

Today I'm sitting here thinking of all those who joined you after January 20th 1999.

You gave me these words to write and I came here to this site in January of 1999 and placed them for your law enforcement family to read.



CAPTAIN ROBBIE BISHOP...CALLED TO HIGHER DUTY

Officer Down...Officer Down...I Faintly heard the call.
I was standing by a stairway, leaning against the wall.

Officer Down...Officer Down...

Signals got crossed, something went wrong. I never let down my guard.

There was blinding pain in my head...That hit was pretty hard.

I looked around and saw some cops running swiftly to my aid.
Confused and disoriented, I said, "I thought you guys were dead."

Then they put their arms around me and asked, "Robbie, how do you feel?"

I shook my head. I felt great..."But, is this place for real?"

Officer Down...Officer Down...

I heard a sound from the top of the stairs, a voice saying, "Robbie, come on in. You've been called to Higher Duty by a very special Friend."

Tears rolled down my Face as I looked up and recognized my Lord.

Officer Down...Officer Down...The words echoed all around.
I heard the sound of weeping, voices calling..."Robbie Please Come Back!"

I Love you guys and I'm sorry to Leave you, but Fate stepped in with a mortal attack. I was struck by a bullet... and there's no turning back.

I've been called to Higher Duty by The Chief at the top of the stairs.

The Final battle is coming and HE wants me to train some new troops over there.

I know all of you are hurting, but please try to understand.
I've been called to Higher Duty by GOD, not man.

Carry on with the fight so every kid can play on a drug Free street. Just think of me and I'll be there when you're cruising along your beat.

I'll be watching out for you. So, until again we meet...

STAY SAFE OUT THERE....

Officer Down...Officer Down...

"Cancel that...This Officer Went UP."

This Message was written after much prayer. I am "Just A Mom." I held the clipboard.

To Lisa, the children, Dean and all the precious people I met that day.

God Bless You All.

Well brother... it's been 10-years to the day since you left this earth for a better place. Though you've been gone awhile, you'll never be forgotten by those of us you helped while on this earth. I know you and Spencer Clark are watching over the rest of us, probably laughing! Until we meet again... at work we'll stay.

Robbie,

Day in, day out, we go out and continue the fight that you were a part of. The 10th annual conference is coming up in Feb 2009 and I'm looking forward to it. You live in our veins brother and everyday that I go to work, I think of you and your family. Thank you for what you did for the officers and thank you for believing in what you did. You memory lives on in our hearts and minds everyday. You are a great motivator and a great inspiration to all of us that continue the same fight. Rest in peace brother........"In Pursuit of the Criminal Element, the flight continues!"

Although I never worked directly with Robbie I remember the first time I got to meet him. It was on I-75 at around 2100 and he had just had a pizza delivered out on the interstate. I remember thinking this is one man who is totally dedicated to his work. I would always look forward to hearing about what Robbie was into and what he was doing. You could always bet it would be something! I am no longer in Law Enforcment full time but I still think of Robbie when I pass an Interdiction Officer sitting on the highway. I hope his family is doing well. RIP partner.

Brother, it's now been more than 9 years since that day in January. It seems like just yesterday we were on the interstate together... wroking, joking, and enjoying life. Not one day goes by that I don't think about you and what you did for interdition, and me. I've had several more LEO's that were friends of mine to join you... so I'm sure you guys are watching out for the rest of us. We'll continue to do the best we can... and then some. Until we meet again ...
