Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer. Tonight, April 24, 2003 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Captain George Monier who died on this date one year ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Captain Monier's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Today is the 1st anniversary of your death and we know from visiting
this site often that the journey of healing has only just begun. Thank you
for your sacrifice Capt. Monier and I pray that our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ will continue to strengthen and heal all those left behind. You are
fondly remembered today.

Capt. Scott Monier was the finest man I have ever had the pleasure to work with or to know. Capt. Monier was the glue that held our department together. Capt. Monier was always smiling and was never to busy to take the time to listen or help in any way he could. Capt. Monier loved his family, loved being a Police Officer, and loved is "Police Family". The void that is felt is almost unbearable, but we know he is in heaven watching over us. I miss him dearly, he is physically gone but will remain here in our hearts always.

To the wife and family of Cap Monier:

May God be with all of you! Justice has been done, for GOD's punishment to the man who killed your husband will be far more extensive than anything we could have done to him here on earth. My the good Lord bless and keep you.

Rest in Peace. May God bless and comfort your family, friends and co-workers. Know that those of us who have walked this path of pain and sorrow will help your family. May the sweet, wonderful memories of you help them daily.

Capt Monier was a true leader in every sense of the word. I had the honor to work with Monier and he was always happy and trying to make WSPD a better place to work. Everytime I had a patrol car computer problem, I would go to Monier and always knew that he would get it up and working in no time. The community loved Monier as did his fellow co-workers. Monier was not perceived as a type of administrator that looked out for his own agenda and interests - Monier was constantly striving to improve our small department and to make it a premier law enforcement agency. The last time I saw Monier was at firearms qualifications the week before this senseless tragedy. He was smiling and laughing as always and was already talking about the great things he had planned in the future. Then the call came, the most unexpected and dreadful call I have ever received - "Report To Work ASAP - Capt Monier has been shot!" - I was in shock and denial. As these horrible events played out, my shock turned into sorrow and disbelief. How could anyone take his life? How could this happen in our small city and department? Rest assured, I know Captain Monier was a Christian and a true family man. He loved his family, his wife and two daughters. He was a coach at his daughter's school and labored in his church. He died doing what he always wanted to do - that is being a Police Officer. I truly believe that if we could go back in time, and that fateful 911 call would have come in again, Monier would have done the same thing -That is running out his office to help a citizen who he thought was in danger. Monier was just that kind of guy - Always looking to help his fellow officers and the citizens that he took an oath to protect. Monier will always be remembered - A Hero, a Friend, an Oustanding Christian Law Enforcement Officer, a Role Model To All Police Officers, a Husband and of course a loving Dad. As our Chief said during a prayer vigil after the incident, "I GUESS GOD IS BUILDING A POLICE DEPARTMENT IN HEAVEN." God bless Monier's family and this department. Our prayers are with you and remember, "All things work together for them that love God and are called according to His purpose."

God bless you brother, and please watch over us as we continue to patrol here. You ARE a hero, and will NEVER be forgotten! Rest in peace, brother.

I had the fortunate opportunity to grow up and around Scott. He along with several others influenced me to become a police officer. I respected Scott greatly not only because he was a great police officer, but because he showed a sincere passion for the work that he done and a sincere passion for his family and fellow officers'. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Scott was a TRUE HERO!

I recently learned of Capt. Monier's death and was very saddened. On April 4, 2001, my partner, Inv. Sherry-Lyons Williams and I were ambushed and shot while executing a search warrant. Unfortunately, Sherry died from her injuries. While I was recouperating from my wounds, I received a letter of encouragement from Officer Sibel and the members of the WSPD.

How tragic it is that only a year later, it my turn to comfort the officers of the WSPD. I hope that Capt. Monier's real and law enforcement family will find some closure in the fact that Capt. Monier was able to return fire on the suspect.

I am extending my deepest sympathies and will be keeping Capt. Monier's family and the White Settlement Police Department in my prayers.

I was with Scott when he was fighting for his life on April 24, 2002. Scott fought hard and certainly had the will to live. Scott saved several lives that day, so that Scott's killer wouldn't hurt any of us. He's a hero and I will never forget his sacrifice. I strive to have his courage, wisdom and bravery, and will do so for him-and the rest of the days I have here in life.

Captain Scott Monier was a hero to me. He taught me self esteem, love for the honornable profession of Law Enforcement and his personal life was the happy ending that we all want to see for true love. That is until he gave his life for his fellow man. Now we are left with memories of a brave, honest, moral and follower of Christ that will shine as a lighthouse in this world of decaying values. I mourn for his family and friends and take solice in the fact that he lived his life his way, the honorable way, the way of a Law Enforcement Officer. Farewell Scott, Every one needs a hero. Take comfort that you were a hero to a lot of people here, before you became a hero to the world.

I had the privilege to work with Captain Monier when I was a reserve officer for the White Settlement Police Dept. in 1994. Captain Monier was always willing to help and answer any questions that I may have had. I left White Settlement PD in 1995 and went to work for another agency in the metroplex, where I eventually was promoted to Sergeant. I contacted Captain Monier several times to ask him questions regarding policies. I last spoke to Captain Monier approximately six months ago to ask him questions regarding WSPD emergency response policies. Captain Monier was kind enough to take the time to talk with me and even fax me some information. Captain Monier will be greatly missed. Captain Monier's friends, co-workers and especially his wife and children will be in mine and my family's prayers.

Thoughts and prayers go to Capt. Moniers family, and fellow officers, truly a good cop, a good dad, and most loyal friend to so many. Time will not smudge the good things this officer did, his prints of kindness will forever burn in the hearts and memories of each soul who knew him.

This man worked hard for his community, he dedicated his life to preserving the safety of others, and he did it willingly. Angels could do no better!

God be with the Monier family, the White Settlement Police Department, and every single police officer who walks the mean streets of America today and tomorrow....

Captain Monier died fighting for what he believed in.
I pray that the family finds peace during these times of trouble. It is so hard to hear of the loss of a fellow brother in blue.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Scott's death. I knew Scott in high school and spent a little time with him. Although Scott and I didn't "hang out" alot, his brother (Wes) and my brother were best friends. We went to the Monier home, several times, and thought the world of their mother. She was often a substitute for the teachers at school. I regret not getting to know Scott better but am proud to have known him. Scott will surely be missed by many people. My condolances to his wife and children. I honor Scott not giving up the fight after being shot by the gunman. May you rest in peace. Chuck Cerveny
