Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My thoughts and prayers are with every one of my previous co-workers and Cpl. Arnaud's family during this tragedy. While I didn't have many dealings with Cpl. Arnaud during my years at the Sheriff's Office, I know that each member was a family member to all those within the office as well as the law enforcement field. God bless Cpl. Arnaud, Pvt. Magruder and all of us.

THE POLICEMAN’S LAST INSPECTION ...

THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS. "STEP FORWARD NOW, POLICEMAN. HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU? HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER CHEEK? TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?"

THE POLICEMAN SQUARED his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain’t. Because those of us who carry badges can’t always be a Saint. I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I’ve been violent because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that wasn’t mine to keep, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept many unmanly tears. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you’ve a place for me Lord, it needn’t be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don’t, I’ll understand."


There was silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. "Step forward now, policeman, you’ve borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets, you’ve done your time in hell."

Jim --
You were always upbeat, always smiling, and always had a way of making people laugh. Your sense of humor would brighten up even the most boring moments. I remember the many occasions waiting to see the commissioner in the PIT and how you would always have a joke or a funny story to tell. I could often hear you laughing before I even made it in the door. You will be missed, my brother. You will be missed. God Bless You.

Corporal Charles Ridgely
Morningside Police Dept

James,

Thanks for everything you did for us. You will be missed. Fear not brother, we will bring your killer to justice. That's a promise.
