Reflections for Police Officer II William Andrew "Drew" Henley
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God". Matthew 5:9. Thank you Patrolman Henley for your service and your dedication. Rest easy brother, you now stand watch at heavens gate. Your extended law enforcement family grieves with your family and the Suffolk Police Department. May God bless you and your family.

I HAVE A HERO....
I have a Hero,
This person is one who gets dressed for work each day just like everyone else
I have a Hero,
Who kisses their spouse and children before they leave for work not knowing if they will return at the end of the day to hold them once again
I have a Hero,
Who must confort the scared, console the troubled, and protect even the gulity
I have a Hero,
Who arrives to a situation where a child has been killed and must remember that the suspect has "rights"
I have a Hero,
That puts on a uniform each day with a vow to Serve and Protect
I have a Hero,
Who was killed in the Line of Duty today, and with him a part of America died
I have a Hero,
Who goes by the name of Police Officer....
May God Bless all of Our Fallen Brothers and Sisters in Blue. While we honor the lives of those no longer with us.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Henley Family and the officers and staff of the Suffolk Police Department over the tragic loss of Officer William Henley. Once again another brother officer has been taken from the thin blue line. May God bless the Henley Family and the officers and staff of the Suffolk Police Department during this very sad time. May our brother William rest in peace. William will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!

I did not know Officer Henley but from the reflections of his brother officer's he must have been a good cop that cared for his city and took a great deal of pride in his work. That was reflected in the newspaper today as I read the report of his life as well as his death he touched many people's lives in his short time here, and he did this in a positive way God's Speed

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
