Brad,
Its been 3 weeks and it still doesn't seem real. Sitting around the station deciding what we would do for lunch and harassing each other. Always know that you and your family are in our thoughts and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace partner, I know you will be watching out for us.

Brad was only a kid when we became friends. He wanted to be a police officer in the worst way. The question I wanted to ask him is why, then I remembered my own answer. Because I thought to myself that I had something to offer.
Well this was his answer as well.
The good book offers this small but appropriate verse, " Blessed be the peacemakers, for they shall know peace."
Peace to you Brad, we will keep you in our hearts.

Brad you are missed greatly. I know that we did not see each other that often after graduating from the police acedemy. But on that tragic day my heart was sad and it still is. You were a great guy and a good policeman and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend. Please watch over us all.

This is the first time I have visited or seen this website and I think that it is a great way to remember fallen heros. I graduated the year before Brad and remember him from hgh school but more importantly we worked together at Riverview Gardens High School. I saw and spoke to Brad on Monday night and he was smiling and having fun. As I was walking out the door after talking to him, he called out "Don't I get a good-bye?". Of course he was smiling and laughing at me as I turned around to tell him "Good-Bye". In a short twelve hours (almost to the minute) Brad would not be here any more. I cannot believe that I will not see his smiling face in the halls or gym of the school. As a friend and girlfriend of policemen, I can not manage the pain that is felt by his family and close friends. I want the family and friends to know that he will always be remembered for loving his job and dying doing what he loved.
We all should make sure that we hug our love ones and say "I Love You" because we never know when it might be the last time.

To the Family of Officer Brad Schultz, you have my deepest sympathy. I am very sorry for your loss. Another young Officer has suddenly left us, way to early in his life. He will definitely be in good company, and he will be well taken care of. Your son is a hero.....
My son, Officer Nick Sloan was shot and killed on January 30, 2004, in north St. Louis. I know your pain....
Brad, you will need to reach out and help your family, because they will need it. Each day will now become a challenge just to cope with life. Your family are in my prayers and you will never be forgotten.
I am very sorry......

WHAT IS A COP?
Cops are human ( believe it or not) just like the rest of us. They come in both sexes but mostly male. They also come in various sizes. This sometimes depends on whether you are looking for one or trying to hide something. However, they are mostly big.
Cops are found everywhere-on land, on the sea, in the air, on horses, in cars, sometimes in your hair. In spite of the fact that " you can't find one when you want one", they are usually there when it counts most. The best way to get one is to pick up the phone.
Cops deliver lectures, babies, and bad news. They are required to have the wisdom of Solomon, the disposition of a lamb and muscles of steel and are often accused of having a heart to match. He's the one who rings the door-bell, swallows hard and announces the passing of a loved one; then spends the rest of the day wondering why he ever took such a "crummy" job.
On TV, a cop is an oaf who couldn't find a bull fiddle in a telephone booth. In real life he's expected to find a little blond boy " about so high" in a crowd of a half million people. In fiction, he gets help from private eyes, reporters, and who-dun-it fans." In real life, mostly all he gets from the public is " I didn't see nuttin'."
When he serves a summons, he's a monster. If he lets you go, he's a doll. To little kids, he's either a friend or a bogeyman, depending on how the parents feel about it. He works " around the clock", split shifts, Sundays and holidays, and it always kills him when a joker says. " Hey tomorrow is Election Day, I'm off, let's go fishing" ( that's the day he works 20 hours).
A cop is like the little girl, who, when she was good, was very, very good, but, when she was bad, was horrid. When a cop is good, " he's getting paid for it." When he makes a mistake, " he's a grafter, and that goes for the rest of them too." When he shoots a stick-up man he's a hero, except when the stick-up man is " only a kid, anybody coulda seen that."
Lots of them have homes, some of them covered with ivy, but most of them covered with mortgages. If he drives a big car, he's a chiseler; a little car, "who's he kidding?" His credit is good; this is very helpful, because his salary isn't. Cops raise lots of kids; most of them belong to other people.
A cop sees more misery, bloodshed, trouble, and sunrises than the average person. Like the postman, cops must also be out in all kinds of weather. His uniform changes with the climate, but his outlook on life remains about the same: mostly a blank, but hoping for a better world.
Cops like days off, vacations, and coffee. They don't like auto horns, family fights, and anonymous letter writers. They have unions, but they can't strike. They must be impartial, courteous, and always remember the slogan " At your service." This is sometimes hard, especially when a character reminds him, " I'm a taxpayer, I pay your salary."
Cops get medals for saving lives, stopping runaway horses, and shooting it out with the bandits ( once in a while his widow gets the medal). But sometimes, the most rewarding moment comes when, after some small kindness to an older person, he feels the warm hand clasp, looks into grateful eyes and hears, " Thank you and God bless you, son."
