Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sometimes you get the bad guy and sometimes he
gets you.
The shot that killed you also killed a part of us.
It killed a part of your family, both at work and at home.
It killed your dreams, your hopes, your future.
But it must not kill our determination to make this
world a better place or our will to make a difference.
America's streets must be running red with blood with
all the deaths of leos. Every time I come here to leave
a reflection, I feel like my words get emptier and emptier. I am truly sorry for your loss...a loss too great
for words.

Hey brother. Just dropping a note to make sure you know that I think about you often. I wish you were there alongside us on the job, but I know that more importantly, you're always here, amongst us, covering every shift and answering every call with us. You'll never know how much you're missed or how much your sacrifice touches us each and every day. Please keep watching over us and keep the beer cold! Look forward to seeing you again.

It seems like yesterday that I walked in the house to have dad tell me you had been shot and then the call to say you had passed away. I will never forget you and the way that you made everyone laugh that was around you no matter what. You have and always will have a place in my heart. Please continue to watch over everyone and bring them home safely at the end of their shifts. MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!

Mike-

It is hard to believe that almost 10 years ago we sat next to each other in that small classroom on Pontiac Street in Berwyn Heights for our academy training. Our squad during the academy had some good times. I'll never forget your headstand beer drinking down in Calvert County or all the other fun times. It is even harder to think that today has been 6 years. Like I said in an earlier reflection, I remember exactly where I was when I got the call. It seems like just yesterday.

Keep watching over all of us as we continue to do what you loved.

Mike,
I still think about you all the time. I don't think that there is a day that goes by that I do not remember you, and the tragedy of 2-13-01. The pain of that night is a little eaiser, but it still hurts. People still talk about you, and naturally it is nothing bad. Everyone misses you so much. I know that one day I will see you again, but until then please watch over all of us.

Missing you always,

Mike, I know you ride with me and the others every shift. And in my case Lt. Bill Foster rides along too. You'll never be forgotten.Every time I go out of the front door of the station, I touch your memory sticker on the door. Sorry I never had a chance to work with you. But I am sure you were just as good of a man as your brothers. Until we meet thanks for watching over me. Kim

Mike,

I have to agree with the rest of the folks from the academy; we keep in the back of our minds that it happens far too often, but who would have ever considered this happening to any one of us? You, your family, and your friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, buddy...

Mike- it has been just over 5 years now. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that something like this could have happened to someone who sat next to me through the entire academy. We had such great times during those several months. Although this is the first time I have sent a reflection on the site, please know that you have been in my thoughts over the past 5 years. I can still remember getting the call from Shelly on that fateful night, just as if it was last night. As others have said, continue to keep a watchful eye over all of us who are continuing to do what you loved so much.

Five full years, you would think that after five years the hurt would be less... but its not. You are still very much in my thoughts, in everyones thoughts. When ever I need to smile all I have to do is think back to your 'Bitty pimper' scheme, what a great boat that would have been, that is after a little work. Five full years and yet it feels like yesterday. With all my heart and more, I love ya!

Mike, It does not seem like 5 years ago that you were taken from all of us. I still think about you each and everyday. You are greatly missed. Please continue to keep a close eye on all of us and make sure that all the guys come home safely at the end of each shift. Until we meet again, I love and Miss you!

I know the past 5 years have been difficult for the friends and family of Officer Nickerson. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers especially on this most difficult day. God Bless each of you.

Just want you to know I think of you and the ultimate price you paid. I will never forget your final call. It replays in my mind all the time.

January 28, 2006

Mike, Thank you for keeping a close eye on Tyler the other day and making sure that he made it through and was alright. You are still missed a great deal. Please keep the guys safe when they are out there and bring them home at the end of each shift safely.
