I knew Anthony when we took classes together at Mississippi State and when I was a patrolman for the Starkville, MS Police Department. Anthony was a good man and no doubt a great husband and father. Anthony is truly a hero and will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Lucas family.

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE *** Sent to you by the father of Detective J.D.Koeppen, Raleigh North Carolina; Trooper D.C.Koeppen, New Jersey State Police and Patrolman A.M.Koeppen, Wilmington North Carolina.

Rest easy warrior you have done your time in hell. I see you and me have been on the same amount of time and are the same age. We both have little boys. The only differance between us is you are home and I am not. To the son of this Officer always remember your Daddy was the Bravest of the brave that did a job most fear and that most wouldn't want. If I can ever help this site will know how to contact me. God Speed.

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and fellow officers of Chief Anthony Lucas. Take comfort in the fact that he died a hero and is sitting next to God, watching over all of us now. Also, take comfort in the fact that the law enforcement family has all of you in their prayers and will make sure that you are well taken care of. I am copying a poem from the memorial page of a Columbus, Ohio police officer who was also killed in the line of duty, his name is Bryan Hurst EOW 01/06/2005. We were friends and attended the academy together, I miss him every day.

"A Part of America Died"

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side.

The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
and spend many long, lonely nights.

The beat that he walked was a battle field too,
just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
to his name they will add a gold star.

Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line.

Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all,
and a part of America died.
-Unknown

Chief-Say "hi" to Bryan from all his friends. You gave the ultimate sacrifice for the people you swore to protect and serve. I will see you at my final roll call. Rest easy my brother, we have got it from here.

God Bless You All.
