Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

What a tragedy for everyone involved. My prayers and thoughts are with the family, friends, and co-workers of both officers. Just 21 years old and already she has paid the ultimate price of public service. We will carry on for you Officer Lambert. Please watch over the rest of us and guide us home every night.

What a horrible incident!!!! It is so sad that things like this happen - multiple warriors responding to the same emergency and something like this happens. At any rate, my prayers, thoughts & condolences goes out to Officer Lambert, her family, her friends and her Brothers and Sisters with the Wellston, Ohio Police Department.

Rest in Peace my sister...

THE POLICEMAN'S LAST ROLL CALL ...

THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HER GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. SHE
HOPED HER SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HER 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 her 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 her 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."
