Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Capt. Knapps, Rest easy. You died doing your duty. All Corrections officers are taught, "NEVER SURRENDER YOUR KEYS". You did more than that. You stared death in the face and stuck to your training. YOU DID NOT GIVE UP! Many officers are put in this situation, yet you were concerned for your fellow officers and the public. God knows what would have happened if you had given your keys up. You proctected thousands of people by preventing an escape, and you sacrificed your life for others. GODSPEED!

As a Manager in a Maximum Security Penitentiary we are always reminded of the dangers of our work place. Captain Knapps paid the ultimate price for choosing a career of dealing with those that society does not want to have in their midst.

His fate could be ours, we stand united.

I worked for under the supervision of Capt. Knapps for almost a year. Capt. Knapps was a very dedicated Corrections Officer and a well liked man. He will always be a hero and a role model to me. If only one word was to be used to describ Capt. Knapps, the word would be "PROFESSIONAL".
