Reflections for Lieutenant Charles A. "Bo" Harrison
I am so sadden by this terrible tragedy. May you rest in peace, Bo. The senseless action of one has changed the lives of many. The coward who did this will one day be brought to justice, if not on earth, it'll be before God. My prayers go out to Bo's wife, children, and the rest of his family. My prayers also go out to his Law Enforcement family at the Pasco County SO as well as the Law Enforcement family as a whole. We have truly lost a good man. May God comfort Bo's wife, children, and family through these most difficult time. God bless you.

Thank you Lt. Harrison for you selfless courage. To have survived Vietnam and then die on the streets of your country is shameful for us as a nation. We don't put away these people for good, we let them out to re-offend again and again. To his family, friends, and fellow Deputies, know he filled his destiny as God designed him and that he now patrols the streets of Heaven with an elite force. He will always have your backs.

GOD bless the family, friends, and co-workers of Lt. "Bo" Harrison at this time of grief and senseless loss to their agency and community. Know that he is now in a far better place than we where there is no pain or sadness. We salute a good man who only tried to make a difference in his life for the greater good of all.

I have to wonder how many dozens or more people are better off today because people like Lt. Harrison choose to have a lengthy career in law enforcement.
As a civilian, I can't step into the shoes of the people who loved and worked with Lt. Harrison and I can't truly know the depth of their feelings. But I would remind you, as someone with firsthand knowledge, you do make a difference in people's lives.
I would ask that as you mourn, you keep the faith that the world is a better place because of you chose law enforcement as a career or because you chose to stand beside someone in law enforcement.
Please, be safe and take care of each other.

My Prayers not only go out to Lt. Harrison's close family but to also his brothers and sisters at the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. We have lost yet anouther fine officer in our great state. This man not only served his country, he also served his community at a solider of god. He was so close to retirement but yet he still patroled the community he loved, he will be missed by all. God Bless.

It is a sad day when a man who gave so much of his life in the service of others is killed by a coward, when he was only days away from retirement. Lt harrison was an outstanding role model for his community. May the coward who shot him in the back never have peace. God bless Lt harrison and his wife, children and family. Rest in peace Brother.

To the family and friends of Lt. Harrison:
It is hard to believe that this happened... He served his country in Vietnam, and then served it for so many years in Law Enforcement when he got home. He truly was a hero, and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It is ironic that he would be killed so close to his retirement, yet he died doing what he seemed to really have a calling for, serving his community and his country. May God bless and comfort you through these difficult times.

My heart is heavy watching these names being entered on this Role of Honor in the past few days. Yet, I continue to have faith that God, our Father is still in charge.
May God accept Lt. Harrison, his service and sacrifice. May the bless and keep his family, and strengthen the members of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. All of this in Jesus Name..Amen.

How terrible, a barve, fine and upright man, a leader and family man, sniped down by cowards. It is so horribly ironic that he survived Vietnam and 31 years on the street., only to die 15 days before he was to retire. LT Harrison died a hero's death.
The State of Florida can remember him as a true hero and knight of Justice. He now patrols the streets of Heaven with St. Michael.
I pray for his family, friends and colleagues. God Bless and be safe.
