Reflections for Corporal James Arvil Lamance
Jim Lamance was one of the most courteous police academy students that we have ever had in my 30 years as director at the Texoma Regional Police Academy.From the very first day that he entered my office wanting an application I was impressed with his manners. He got started late in our profession (50 years old) but he was full of excitement and honored that we would allow him to join the academy class.He was very humble and thankful to get the chance.A very good person that will be missed by his community and this profession. Jerry Bardwell, Police Academy Director, Texoma Regional Police Academy, Denison,Tx. Something of interest!!! The last police officer to be killed in Grayson County(before Jim Lamance) was Sgt D.C.Arnold of the Sherman, Texas police department. Mr Arnold was killed December 23,1969 around 3 or 4 am in the morning. Jim Lamance was killed 30 years to the day after Mr Arnold and approximately 2 hours earlier.
