Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God Bless the family of Deputy Anderson. The day I heard that it was him who died, I cried. Deputy Anderson had helped me on several occasions dealing with domestic abuse.

I will never forget the compassion he showed for my children and I nor the professional manner that he served our family with. May his family know that he was a good sheriff for St. Louis County, but also a wonderful human being.

God bless his family, and his fellow deputies with the St. Louis County Sheriff's department. To a job well done - thank you all!

God Bless

Brad, the years we spent as partners will never leave my memory. The years we spent as friends will never leave my heart. I am a better cop because of what I learned from you, and a better man because I knew you. Your tenacious efforts were an honor to our profession. Our lives are forever touched. God bless you and your family.

Deputy John Backman
St. Louis County Sheriff's

Thank you for your years of selfless service in Minnesota and Alaska. Both communities will be better because you were there.

I offer my deepest condolences to the family, friends and law enforcement brothers and sisters Deputy Sheriff Anderson left behind. My husband is a police officer and I know how devastating a tragedy like this can be to a department, not to mention the family.

God Bless,

I never thought it would be me,
My name for all of eternity.
Recorded here at this hallowed place,
Alas, my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty" I hear them say,
My family now the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with tears,
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me.
And with a heavy heart and bent knee,
I ask for all here from the past...
Dear God, let my name be the last.

My friend and coworker,

We worked together and played together. We agreed and disagreed. At times we disagreed and argued passionately about issues big and small. I will miss you and all that you stood for, and I will never forget.

May God sweep you into His loving arms, and give your family the peace and strength to get through this. God speed, my friend.

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."

"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 got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept 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 here, 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 judgment 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."
