I plan on being a police officer out of college. I am currently in HS and taking a Law Enforcement class taught by the Homicide Investigator assinged to your case. I was able to view the entire case report, Although meeting you in person wouldve been better than how i came to know of you, I would like to thank you for your service.

Remembering your life today and the joy that you brought into my life and everyone that loves you. I miss you so much and think about you everyday. It is hard to believe it has been five years that you left us but there is not one day that goes by that I don't think about you. I love you so very much. Keep your smile shining down on me.

Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

My prayers go out to your family and friends. God bless you brother.

"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.

God I miss you so much and wish you here to help guide me. I love you Davis and all that loud snoring you used to do. I know that you look over me and we will stand on watch again. I love you Davis and know that you are my Angel. Till we meet again my Brother. T

I was working an "off-duty" job when over my radio an alert was issued for the suspect that had shot and killed you. I never forgot the deep sadness that overcame me knowing a fellow officer was lost in the line of duty. You gave your all with bravery and honor. Rest well brother, your reward is most definitely in heaven.

Officer Davis, you have not been forgotten and are a true hero. I know the 24th will be a very hard day for your family and close friends, but they will get through it knowing that you are looking down on all of them and still close to them. Keep watch over your family and also those officers still out on patrol.

To the family and friends of Police Officer James Davis Jr. and his fellow officers with the Butler University Police Department:

On behalf of our entire family, we wanted to extend our sincerest condolences to you during this anniversary week of James' death.
We know that you suffered a grievous loss when James was so brutally murdered. Our family grieves for you and with you and shares your agony as we lost our beloved Larry when he was fatally shot this past April during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers.

May you continue to be comforted by the support of your law enforcement community and other police survivors. May God watch over his wife and three children who were robbed of their life with James by this horrific crime.
James' dedication and valor will never be forgotten.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service James gave to his community, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 24, 2004.
