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."

"Ye, though I fly through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no Evil; For I am at 10,000 feet and climbing."

Officer Barwick died doing what he loved to do. Though his passing is saddening, there is comfort in that knowledge. He's in a better place now and the places he was are better for his having been there.

May he rest in peace.

To the family, friends and co-workers or Officer Barwick... I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a short time on the force, no doubt doing what he loved. He was a hero, and is now safe, in the company of other heroes who are watching over us all now. Take comfort in the fact that your separation from him is temporary.

Rest in peace, Officer Barwick. May you fly high with your new wings. Thank you for your service.

You will live forever in the hearts and minds of, not only those you knew and had contact with, but those of us who know what wearing the Badge is about.You were unselfish in giving of yourself to others and have earned the right to walk Heaven's streets.
Rest well Brother. Rest well.

On behalf of the Wood River IL Police Department we would like to to extend our thoughts and prayers to the officers involved in this tragedy. As a 26 year veteran of the police department, we all realize the dangers of the job, and it is always distressing to learn of a brother officer that has been killed or injuried.

God bless and rest in peace officer Barwick. You left us too soon, such a short career and young officer gone in a flash. You're in a better place though, so please watch over those of us still on watch as we carry on in hero's names like yours.
