Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Coulter,
On today, the 20th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served as a U.S. Army Military Policeman. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Met your brother the other day with my son to buy a car. I was welcomed by a “Police Family Parking” sign next to the driveway and felt right at home. We heard your story and felt your brother’s honor and love. He showed my son the way a man should be honest and generous. This meeting was not about the money or the car and it did not happen by chance. I mourn your loss and am grateful that I survived and am coming back to life again. Service is a calling that takes its toll. We must remember to be strong but kind and compassionate and hold each other up. Peace to my brothers

Rob and I were cousins. I am grieving to learn yesterday that Rob's 27 year old son Kyle took his own life. Kyle had also served in the US Army and spent some deployment time in Afghanistan. Kyle suffered from PTSD and struggled to acclimate back to civilian life. Kyle was a man of God and suffers no more. It is comforting to know that Kyle is with his dad again. Thank you Rob and Kyle for your service to our country and your friendship. Until we meet again.

I served with Rob as a military policeman at Ft. Sam Houston. He and his wife were close friends of mine. Unfortunately we lost touch after I got out of the service. I have looked for him on FB over the years and have always wondered where he was and how he was doing. I am deeply saddened to hear of this tragedy. I will never forget all the fun we had and how He always made everyone laugh in addition to always being there for a friend in need. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family for such a horrible loss of a truly great man.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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.

I pray for solace for those who love and miss you. I hope to one day meet your family at a NORCAL COPS function.

Rest In Peace

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

On the 4th anniversary of Officer Coulter's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Officer Coulter is not forgotten.
