I am currently a Deputy Sheriff and patrol Oak Park. An older member of the community approached me and said that I reminded him of Officer Bennett. I had no idea who that was. He told me how Officer Bennett helped him get out of criminal activity and helped him get a job as a plumber. The positive impact Officer Bennett had on the area has lasted generations. It was a honor to be compared to Officer Bennett and I hope that i can have a lasting positive impact, the same way he did.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.
God Bless

Officer Bennett was a friend of my familys, he went to school with my older siblings. When I was born my mom had me baptised she asked Berney to be my god father and he accepted. I got to know Berney just a little bit growing up. I was 11 yrs old when he was killed. My mom and I went to the funural, it was the first funural I had been to and for a 11 year old it was very overwhelming to see so many peace officers paying respect to such a good man and officer. The church was so packed that there where at least 100 plus officers standing outside the church to pay their respects..I dont have too many memories of Berney but I do know that he was a good man and a good officer...

My father joined the Sacramento Police Dept. at the time this happened. He actually replaced Officer Bennett. Many years later I married a relative of Officer Bennett.
R.I.P Officer Bennett. I wish I had the chance to have met you. You are still remembered in our family.

I was a young Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff patrolling the in and out areas of the City/County in the Oak Park area. I grew up in that neighborhood. We patrolled, partnered with our SPD brothers, four men to car, during this senseless "revolutionary" aftermath of racial tension. The senseless loss of Officer Bennett still is on my mind.

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Rest in peace!

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 39th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 34 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

No fellow California law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Officer Bennett, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace
