Sgt. Timbrook,
You were a darn good LEO and certainly am grateful for your being apart of our Winchester Police Explorer Cadet post. You allowed us to ride with you and were instrumental in teach us life surviving skills as we prepare to enter the field of Law Enforcement. Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth and City of Winchester.
R.I.P. Brother,

I saw my daughter graduate from the Winchester Police Department Academy on 5/23/2019. She was presented with the Sgt. Timbrook award as the distinguished honor graduate. I was very proud of her but needed to do some research on Sgt. Timbrook. What a fine officer and upstanding human who represented the very best of the thin blue line he was. I know my daughter is an asset to this department and can only hope that Sgt. Timbrook would have been pleased with her selection. I pray for the family and for all fist responders who do a job that in many respects is thankless. Now Sgt. Timbrook will always be in my prayers.

Ricky,

It’s almost 4 am and I’m still awake. Those midnight shifts never go away. I was thinking about our times together at WPD. How we would have a great time and still police the city. I remember the night that Holiday and I went to pickup a guy on a warrant. We asked if we could come inside to check the apartment for the subject. We found the guy, stark naked, hiding behind a big chair in the living room. He jumped up and he was so sweaty that we couldn’t get ahold of him. He ran out of the door, down the stairs and right into the front of your car. We laughed and laughed about how you made his privates a hood ornament. Gosh those were good days.

Hey Ricky-it’s been awhile since you left us, but you know what? You never left us and you never will. We will ALWAYS remember you and the mark you made on the City of Winchester Police Dept.

Love you and miss you.

Hey Rick,

It seems so long ago, you and I were hanging out at the police academy teaching. How many times did we train on that knife attack which ended up saving me? (I still keep your sweaty knee pad in my training bag lol sheepdog) I still talk about you every time I teach DT and the days after that dreadful night. I don't think a day goes by when I don't think about you and your family, but you know that. I have worn out three bracelets because I promises you will never be forgotten by me and Dee.

I miss you Bro!

She questioned whether Kaine, a Roman Catholic who is opposed to the death penalty, would uphold Bell's sentence.

That questioning is truly understandable. I too am Catholic but I feel that sometimes things though possibly distasteful, must be done for the greater good. Many will take me to task for this and offer a litany of 'what if's'. I respect that, but a meaningless lifeform murdered a good man and this lifeform, if ever freed, could do it again. His freedom can now never be regained. Now he's in the same boat as Sgt. Timbrook and in a way, Sgt. Timbrook's family and friends.

It was a relief to see that Bell will never be a threat again.

On this 16th anniversary of your murder, I say what I said on the 7th anniversary, God Bless and Rest in Peace, Brother.

I worked for Pretrial services in Winchester when this officer was killed. I had a office behind the booking area of the jail and right next to where his killer had meetings with his team of lawyers. I could hear their conversations but of course I could never repeat them to anyone. He wanted his layers to get him out on bail, he said he had kids to provide for. It made me sick, for obvious reasons. I followed his trial and kept track of his appeals even after I left Virginia. I was glad when he was put to death.

I have since moved back to my home state and retired, but I have never forgotten this officer and the price he paid to serve Winchester. I think of his wife and son every October 29th...... I was at the hospital for the birth of family member the evening officer timbrook's a son was born. I saw the chief of police there, which gave it away. May god bless them always. But I am sure Officer Timbrook is still watching over and helping them, every single day.

I was 12 years old when Sergeant Timbrook was killed in the line of duty. I remember Sergeant Timbrook taking time out of his personal schedule to help the citizens of Winchester. He would take money out of his own pocket to help the community. He is greatly missed and will never be forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 10th 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.

This year your murderer was executed, and I am glad your family didn't have to wait over 20 years to see the jury's verdict carried out. I pray for solace for your family.

Rest In Peace

I hope members of the jury, Judge and Governor all rest easy the remainder of their nights knowing they made the right decision. Bittersweet justice has been served. Kelly, you have my highest regards. May you and little Ricky always feel his father's presence in the darkest of times. Rest easy, Ricky, we have the watch from here.
