Everytime I find a new listing on this site I ask myself, Why? Why do we do it. I know the answer though, it's in our blood. We love the job, we love the fact we live on the edge and every day brings something new. It doesn't change the fact that we live in a world gone mad.

TO: The family,loved ones,friends 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 of heaven that you have promised to those that serve you wll. AMEN.... Sent to you by the father of First Class Officer J.D.Koeppen,Capital City Raleigh NC and Tropper D.C.Koeppen, NJ State Police.......***REST IN PEACE***
