There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.
You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.
To the family of Sergeant Andy Bailey
and the Jackson Police Department, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieves with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this most difficult time.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice for your fellow man, your life.
While serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.
Rest easy with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters, we have the watch now.
To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Please pray for this officer's family, agency, and friends as they struggle with this tragedy.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.
Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. We will continue the fight in your honor.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.
Today, June 19, 2004 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Sgt. Andy Bailey who died in the line of duty just two days ago.
When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.
Sgt. Bailey's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Another senseless tragedy for our Peace Officers everywhere. I followed the news that day and was saddened by your passing. I'm sure the pain is unbearable for all of your family, friends, and co-workers. It's obvious from the other reflections of the people who knew you that you were a great man and a caring officer. Please watch over us.

Andy was a true friend. He loved his job, he loved life and he loved people. The halls of JPD will forever echo his laughter and every time I walk into my/our office I see him sitting at the desk with a smile on his face. Andy was one of a kind, a gentle man with a heart of gold. God bless you Andy, You showed me the ropes here and you never judged me and I'll treasure our friendship forever.
You were a blessing to all of us.

You are a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. May the ruthless criminals responsible for this murder be brought to justice and sentenced to the most severe penalty.
May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. May God bless you, your family and brother/sister officers.
