Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We sometimes pay an awful price to live in a free and law abiding nation. God bless you Deputy Taylor, for all your years of service and dedication.

I can't believe it happened again. I am truly saddened by this senseless tragedy. I always ask why, but can never figure it out. I guess it was meant to be, because he has chosen me. Go with God my brother. A HERO you truly are!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and the deputies at Douglas Co S.O. God give you the strength to do your duties as a deputy while grieving the loss of your friend.

Officer
McMinnville Police Dept.

Rest in peace, Deputy Taylor. You will be in the company of some of Jessamine County's finest whom we still miss desperately 10 months later. May you fly high with your new wings.

To Deputy Taylor's wife & family, you are in the prayers and thoughts of many. It may be of little solace to you but Morris' dedication to police work and the ultimate sacrifice he was called upon to make Saturday morning will never be forgotten. I only had the privilege of meeting your husband once, on the front steps of the Coquille City Hall, but I've heard many wonderful stories about the kind man he was. He will be missed by many. God Bless You.

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."
