To the family and friends of Officer Logan,
I am so sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. It saddens and sickens
me to hear yet another officer is down. I know your pain and heart
ache. My brother, Kevin, was shot and killed by a barricaded gunman in
July. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Officer Logan will
never be forgotten.

TO: The family;friends;loved ones and department members; A POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER:---O, Gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent on me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted.Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence.Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN Sent to you by the father of First Class Officer J.D.Koeppen,Capital City Raleigh NC and Tropper D.C. Koeppen N.J.State Police. * REST IN PEACE*

Dear Logan Family,
I am sorry to hear about your loss. Take some comfort in two verses from the Bible: "Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted" Matt. 5:4, "Blessed are the peacekeepers; for they shall be called the children of God" Matt. 5:9. God Bless

My thoughts and prayers are with the Logan family. I live in Oklahoma and we lost one of our State Troopers back on December 26th. He was a great man, as I am sure you were. Thank you for protecting all of us!
God bless you... Your friends and family are in my prayers...
THE POLICEMAN'S LAST ROLL CALL ...
THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE
HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS 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 his 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 his 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."

My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Logan's wife, children, family, friends and co-workers. Another coward strikes again. And then to commit shows just how much of a coward they are. I pray for you int he days and months ahead. So many of us are walking this road with you. Please know that we are here for you. Psalm 55:22
