My condolences to the family of Officer Craig Herbert, as well as to the entire Lawrence Police Department family. I am remembering all of you in my prayers.
I count it an honor and a privilege to share this profession with officers like Craig Herbert. His courage, his dedication to service, and his sacrifice will live on in the hearts of the men and women of the Lawrence Police Department, and the men and women of the law enforcement family, as we follow his lead—-going where others fear to go, putting the safety of others before our own, and serving with a very real sense of purpose and dignity.

Heroes get up each day,
To dress in blue,
They patrol our streets,
Watching our cities,
Keeping us safe each day.
Making a difference,
We often over look.
How many have we forgotten?
How many are gone,
Lost in the line of duty?
We wait 'til it's too late,
To acknowledge all they've done,
To give them our respect.
The least we can do,
Is give them their due,
Before we lose another,
Hero dressed in blue
Performing the job he loved to do
Another fallen brother in blue
my deepest sympathies go out to ofc. herbert's family,friends, and fellow co-workers, thanks for all the great work that u did and know that u will never be forgotten for all that u did risky your life day to day for people u didn't even know. Another lost in the line of duty.
R.I.P Officer C.S Herbert and God Bless as u have taken your have taken your final 10-42

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.
Officer Herbert, may God bless you and your family. Keep watching over us as you are now 10-41 in a better place since your time in hell is over.... we have the watch from here......

Craig-I love you, buddy! Thanks for being a true friend for the last 20 years...thanks for being there when I was a single mom all those years...you've always been a brother to me and I will miss you more than words can say. You've left me with so many fond memories of childhood along with raising our kids. I love looking out my window to see the donut tracks you made in our field only a little over a week ago. Life is so short, so precious. I promise I will help look after your family. Rest in peace.
Annie
Craig,
I was fortunate enough to know you for 5 years. It only took me a matter of minutes to see what kind of person you are. We will miss you, brother. I promise that our memories will not fade and we will be here for your boys forever. "Justice Is Coming"
