Reflections for Police Officer LaToya Nicole Johnson
I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Johnson Family and the officers & staff of the New Orleans Police Department over the tragic loss of Police Officer Latoya Johnson. Once again a coward has taken a sister officer from the thin blue line. May God bless the Johnson Family and the officers & staff of the New Orleans Police Department during this very sad time. May our sister Latoya rest in peace. Latoya will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!

Another sad day in our profession. A sacrifice made by someone that loved what she did only to die for it.
To the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Johnson your loss is heavens gain. Be strong and be safe. God Bless You.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Officer Johnson. But I know it takes a special person to put on the uniform and make the sacrifices that officers are asked to make. In 1998 a fellow officer and friend of mine was shot and killed on duty so I know that the pain and grief felt by her family,friends and fellow officers is beyond measure. Please know that I will keep Officer Johnson's family as well as my brothers and sisters of the NOPD in my prayers.
Rest In Peace Officer Johnson.

Toya, we became good friends before our academy class started, and you fought hard to wear the blue uniform. You achieved your dream and made your father, mother and daughter proud.We were partners on the night watch, and I will always remember that. You are in a better place now in heaven.

To the family, friends and co-workers of P.O. Johnson. There is nothing that I can say that would help you through this terrible time. The only saving grace when I went through the same thing was that I knew Clint loved being a police officer. He loved it so much, that it would be all that he would talk about when he was around.
I know that you will miss Latoya everyday, but we will never forget her.
Thank you for your sacrifice Latoya, and look Clint up, tell him we miss him everyday...
