I have been thinking about Ed a lot lately. Now that marijuana is legal, it is hard to understand how we lost so many brothers and sisters over it. You are in my thoughts dear friend. You were one of a kind brother.

I had the honor of prosecuting the case against Ed’s killer. It’s a case that will forever remain with me. Meeting Ed’s parents, wife and colleagues gave me a real sense of the man and officer Ed was. He is and will always remain a hero.

Twenty years today....your oldest son is now the same age as you were when you were snatched from us. You would be proud he followed in your footsteps as a Law Enforcement Officer. May God continue to grant your soul eternal peace. Love you always.

Ed,
You're in my thoughts everyday, the only thing hanging on the wall in my office is an article about you. You're the only person that ever called me "Mikey" and I miss our conversations that we had almost daily about life and work. My thoughts and prayers are with Inez and the kids.
Love you, my friend.

I remember this when it happened. I was a Detective with a multi agency unit, who’s members also included MSP Detectives and a Narcotic Unit. Troopers and Officers who live the double life as Narcotic Officers have my respect. My prayers that his family were able to heal and move past this tragedy, without ever forgetting the job he did for Maryland.

Almost 17 years later and I still cherish your friendship. Having met you while treasurer of the state law enforcement officers pension system I admired your tenacity. Doing road trips to drum up support for our organization, I always respected your enthusiasm. You are sorely missed Ed.

Ed,
I know it has been a long time now. My wife was going through some pictures recently that she wanted to put up on the wall and the first one she asked me about was the one of you presenting the leadership award to me at my academy academy in 1999. I had a chance to speak to you that day and never forgot how comforting it was to talk to you realizing what I was about to embark on. I am about to enter my 18th year with MSP and you are thought about quite often and the sacrifice you made for this state. As many people on here say, you will truly never be forgotten. Thank you!

On August 17, 2015 Mr Sam Benjamin Collins announced that the park pavillion in Turner Station Park had been renamed in honor of Edward and Edgar Toatley. Mr Collins started working on this about four years ago and with the help of law enforcement and community it is now a success.
Rest In Peace Officer Toatley---your memory is cast in bronze at Turner Station Park. We honor your service.

Been thinking about you and your family a lot my friend with all this violence towards police lately. It is hard to believe that you were lost to such a senseless act of violence. Hugs and prayers to Inez and the kids.

Ed,
Although it's been 6 years since I last wrote on this page, I visit quite often and think of you more than anyone could imagine. Always remembering our first meeting at Bel Air Barrack when you were getting in the "kiddie bus" (cadet truck), lol., always remembering the crazy incident on Kane Street, always remembering your smile. My last MSP surveillance was yours, down near Fulton. I miss you my brother, teammate and friend. You were special.
Rest in peace!
