Each time an officer falls in the line of duty we all loose a part or ourselves. We lost a brother and must carry on. May we grow closer to our brothers and sisters who are still with us because we never know what the day may bring. He is with God and may God be with us all.

My prayers are most definitely with all of those who this officer left behind. It's a hard road to walk once an officer is taken from your life, but one day somehow it gets a little bit easier to smile and remember the happy times he gave you along the way. We have all heard that "everything happens for a reason" and even though we may not ever fully know or understand or accept that reason, we can rest assured that these heroes are all patrolling the streets of Heaven. To Officer Feltis' wife and daughter, I cannot fully understand your pain, but unfortunately I have an idea. My fiancee was killed almost 2 years ago now at the age of 20. I'm sure it's not any easier regardless of how long you had your officer. Just know that you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. People will ask you how you are doing, and you won't know how to respond to that question. The only answer is that you are alive, and figuring out day-by-day, minute-by-minute how to carry on with life as the rest of the world zooms by. Take care of yourselves and try to smile a little bit more every day. He would want you to. God bless you.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

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.

Today, February 15, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer James M. Feltis III 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 Feltis' sacrifice will never be forgotten.

James,

As a friend and former co-worker, I want to thank you for the opportunity to have known you and to have worked alongside you.

From the moment I learned of the assault against you, I have prayed for you and your family. These prayers go on today and will continue to do so. My deepest sympathy goes out to your wife and daughter and the rest of your family on their loss.

It was a pleasure to have talked with you at the last FLEOA meeting and catching up after not having seen you for a while. I reflect back on that meeting and thank God that we had the chance to reminisce.

God Speed James, be confident in that fact that you certainly made a difference in this world, not only through your work, but also through the wonderful family you have.

Rest in Peace Brother,
Rob

A officer doing his job, not knowing that the car was driven by a EVIL madman whos true motives we may never know. May he pay the ultimate price. May god grant the family strenght, as someone who spent the last month with a critical family member i know the pain but being with them during this time makes a difference. A greatful nation will be forever in your debt.

On behalf of the Metro Transit Police Department our sincerest condolenses to your family. As a former co-worker, I had the pleasure of working with you at DPS for a year before I left the department. Although it was 12 years ago, I still remember your smiling face as you greeted me each morning during the change of shift. You will be missed.
"...And I say, Had I but wings like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest."
Rest in peace my friend.
