Rest in peace, bro. May the Lord keep and bless your family. I grew up in Riverview and my father was an officer in Riverview in the 60's. It's always tragic when we lose a brother or sister officer. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had known Brad for 11 years, first as his explorer post adviser, then as a friend and partner. When he was a reserve officer in Ferguson, he would ride with me sometimes 40 hours a week, plus work his regular job. He made the job fun when he was around. I will miss him . Rest in peace my friend.

To the Family, Friends, and Co Workers,
I'm so sorry for your recent lose, I feel your pain. Not so long ago we also lost a friend, brother, husband, son, and coworker to a horrible car accident. An accident much like this one. Our deputy was responding to back up another officer when he lost his control of his car and crashed into a house, the car and the house went up in flames.
It truly is a horrible accident.
I will not sit here and tell you, time will ease your pain, I'm not so sure it will. It has been almost 9 months from the time of our loss and it's not a bit easier today then it was then. I will say be there for each other, lean on each other, tell them how much you love them, that will help.
To the family, it will never be the same again, and for that I am so sorry. It truly is tuff. LOVE EACH OTHER.
To the coworkers, it is not your fault, please remember that!
When things are at the toughest point, talk to each other, laugh with each other, and remember everyone knows the pain.
Stick together and love one another, it will help.

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.
Tonight, December 15, 2004 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Brad Schultz who died in the line of duty just yesterday.
When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.
Officer Schultz' sacrifice will never be forgotten.

For Officer Schultz's family and Dept.
Such a horrible loss this time of year
For a loved one you held so dear
Pain is shared by a nation of L.E.O.'s
When our time comes God only knows
Now Brad walks where angels trod
Distance matters not to God
So I know my prayers He hears
And know His angels your presence nears
Angels of comfort and peace
At a time when pain seems not to cease
Officer Shultz your lights were bright
Intent to stop a criminals flight
Sirens wailed and tires squealed
Around the corners your unit wheeled
So courageous to your partners aid
Not knowing your life would fade
Now rest easy on the shady banks
of a peaceful river as I say, thanks
Thanks straight to you
from a simple brother in blue

On behalf of your fellow brothers here in north county, we wish you and your family the best. Officer Schultz is a rare breed of person who often thinks of another's safety before his own. For this reason he is a hero. Rest assured that the torch will continue to burn, and that your brothers will carry on as a monument to your bravery.

Our Greatest Fear
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
too many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
" Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.
God bless you Officer Schultz, you are 10-42 and 10-41 in a better place now!! Keep watching over us, the watch is ours now!!
