Driving through Birmingham and saw the memorial sign on the interstate. Looked him up and read his story to my family. We are proud of you. Your selfless sacrifice will never be understood by most of society, but my family appreciates you. Thoughts to your family.

My brother, one of my many partners and my friend in the police academy it has been a lot of years. I have thought about you often . You and James Nabors and Sandy Sanderson and Carlos Owens. The good times we had on patrol and off duty at the Greensprings FOP, down at southside working extra jobs. I was a better man, father and cop learning from what my brothers had taught me, that had given their lives in the line of duty. I will never forget and always remember, With all my Love.

Wow, it does not seem to have been almost 15 you departed from us. I always looked forward to sitting by you in the roll call room at North Precinct. There was never a dull moment when you came to work. When an officer leaves the shift, the supervisor use to say "switch" and we all shifted seats; well some of us because you and Johnny Scott wouldn't shift for nothing. After your transitioning, the supervisor said switch. That left me to sit in your seat. That was a switch I was not willing to make so I just found somewhere else to sit. Your memories still lies within me on 125's beat. Forth Apache forever. Continue your rest Jerome.

It has been 11 years and four days since you were taken away from us. However, your memory will remain with me forever.. You were a hero, who chased after a robbery after being shot. I remember teaching you at the Birmingham Police Academy. You were a great student and you always gave your best.
May you continue to rest in peace.

Thank you for never giving up on a murderer. As an immediate family member of an active duty officer, he experienced something involving a fast-food robbery, that he just happened to be nearby. God took care of mine that day, he's alive. Bless your hearts, so sorry for your loss, but so very grateful for an arrest!!

Thanks for not giving up. As a survivor of a fallen officer. I'm sure that the family is very grateful. May we always remember the ones who gave their all in the line of duty. Prayer goes out to the Daniels Family.

I am so glad to hear that this case will now go before the courts and Officer Daniel's death will be justified by the conviction of this dirt bag!

Just checking on you man. When one of us is taken, it makes you remember the brothers and sisters that went before. Take care.

We did not know each other, but I was on one of the teams hunting for your killer from South. We tried and tried, and never stopped, until told to because there was nowhere else to look. I'm sorry we couldn't find him. You died a warrior. I am sorry you are gone, but I am proud of you. I pray all is well with your family. If I remember correctly, you have a son. I hope he is doing well. If I happen to be around when anyone from you family needs anything, it will be done.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 7th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

To Jerome's mother: I share your anquish in losing a beloved child which is surely life's greatest sorrow. I pray for your solace today and for everyone who loves and misses Jerome.
Rest In Peace

I can't believe this much time has passed it will be seven years this year. I know in my heart that the person who is responsible will be brought to justice. I pray for your family and all officers everyday. I will not forget and your memory lives on.

I never knew you as Joseph, You told me to call you Jerome. Even though the years have passed, it still seems like it was yesterday. I remember the phone call and watching the news praying that it had to be a mistake, I know the date and I still wear my pin in honor of you memory, Officer Daniels. I am thankful to have met you at the library and I remember the many days that we would just joke around and laugh. I wish that I would not have been late that day, because I didn't know that would be the last opportunity to see you. I can remember Cynthia calling me crying, I think that was the hardest thing that she ever had to tell me....you were a great person with a good heart. I know that it has now been five years but I still believe and know in my heart that "they will find the person(s) responsible". Your name and memory will never be forgotten. God bless your family and continue to keep them and give them strength.
