Reflections for Deputy Sheriff James Joseph Mulay
Jim,
Thank you for everything you taught our Explorers Post. All of us will remember something that you taught us. I will always remember your sense of humor and your love of the job as a police officer and volunteer firefighter. I'll miss you joking around with us and having our meetings at the firehouse. I was going to ask about a ride-along with you at our next meeting and now I won't get the chance. When I am a police officer, I know you'll be a rider in my vehicle always. You will be my backup to make sure that I'm safe as well as the backup for the rest of our Explorers and the Deputies as they continue their careers. You will be sorely missed by all of us and we wish that it didn't happen to one of the best. The Explorers will also do our part in helping your wife with the kids and different things around the house. Thank you Jim for being here with us, and teaching each and every one of the Explorers something different about police work. We will remember it always. Take care 4 Sam 18, we love you and will miss you. May God be with you and your family forever.

My condolences to the friends, family, and fellow deputies of Deputy Mulay. As a police explorer, I often thought about how terrible it would feel if an officer I knew, especially my explorer advisor, were to be killed in the line of duty. I am sure that the explorers in Deputy Mulay's post learned lessons from him that they will always remember, and are proud to have looked up to him. I hope that some of his explorers are able to become officers and proudly serve in his memory. Police officers are our only protection from drunk drivers, and I am very sorry to see another hero taken from us by one.

The Police Officer's Prayer
O Almighty GOD, Whose great power and eternal wisdom embrace the universe, watch over all police and law enforcement officers. Protect them from harm in the performance of their duty to stop crime, robberies, riots, and violence. We pray, help them keep our streets and homes safe day and night. We commend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous. Grant them your unending strength and courage in their daily assignments. Dear GOD, protect these brave officers, grant them your almighty protection, unite them safely with their families after duty ends, Amen.

A Police Prayer
When I start my tour of duty God
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to Thee
Please give me understanding
with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgement
in a rash or callores way,
but let me hold my patience,
let each man have his say.
Lord, if some dark and dreary night,
I must give up my life.
Lord, with your understanding love,
protect my children and wife.
