I am a recruit at Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and this is our Creed, we start every morning reciting word's of our Hero fallen deputy David W. March. After reading his biography and discovering how he was unfairly and brutally murdered, I couldn't hold my tears...
Deputy David W. March will be always our hero and motivation, the reminder why we are here and what we must do for our community. I, as a younger generation of future Deputies, want to make Deputy March proud...

At the start of every day in class, knowing the day holds a myriad of challenges ahead, I look to Deputy March's creed for motivation to tackle all challenges that lie ahead.

Deputy David W. March was a brave and young hero who tragically lost his life. He has inspired me to live by the words he stated prior to his passing which is now adopted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Hello Sir,
I am a PA Recruit currently attending the Sheriff’s Academy. I was able to learn about your story through the academy. I am inspired by your words, sir. You motivate me to live with integrity, work as hard as I can, and learn as much as I can. I hope to be able to inspire future law enforcement officers as you have. Thank you, sir.

I am teaching a law enforcement leadership class and part of it covers the Nobility of Policing. During my research, I came across the tragic story of Deputy March and learned of his personal creed that kept him on track in his life. As a 37-plus year police officer, I was very moved by it and am honoring David and his creed as part of my presentation. Thank you Deputy March for your service and sacrifice thern and now.

Cannot believe it has been 20 years, sir. Met another man yesterday who saw my partner and I in uniform and asked us if we knew who David March was. What an honor to speak with him about your legacy and commitment to integrity. May more of us seek to be the kind of Deputy you were. We have the watch, sir.

It’s very tragic to hear that something like this can happen. My best wishes go out to his family.

Even after 30 years with LASD, now retired, dates where fellow deputies lost their lives always stick out in my mind. I worked Temple for 8 years, trained, worked, and trained many in 57. I had already moved on to another assignment when David was murdered; however, I know exactly where I was, what I was doing, and who I was with, demonstrating the indelible mark incidents such as these leave. Your memory and legacy live on forever Deputy March.

When my niece was a police explorer she visited the S.T.A.R.S. Sheriff's training academy in Whittier, CA. She brought back dark green wristbands with Deputy David March's name and end of watch date. I'm wearing it now. I wear it a lot. My father was a Lt. Watch Commander for the Monterey Park police department here in Southern California. I went on ride alongs with him and saw one time how boring it was, one time how amazingly terrifying it was. I'm having a tough day, like today, almost in tears from my pain and scared thinking about my coming up back surgery to correct degenerative discs and the nerve damage they've caused over the past eight years. When I have an especially challenging and rough time in my life, like today, I stop and think of how tough things are for Deputy David March. He's six feet underground, from just doing his job. Think of how tough things are for his family, his loved ones. And think how much tougher it is for all of us out here without Deputy David March to protect us. I guess my life isn't so tough after all. Thank you for your service, Deputy David March. God Bless You, your family and all the dedicated and hard working men and women who are prepared to pay the ultimate price and make the ultimate sacrifice for all of us to be a little safer and more secure in our daily lives.
