Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I'm thankful the criminal that did this has been captured, I will never understand where such people come from! Please accept my sincere sympathy at the loss of yet another fine officer who only wanted to protect and serve and be with family and friends when his day was over - that is what my son wanted. They are with many fine officers in heaven now watching over us (though sometimes that doesn't feel comforting - we'd rather have them with us). In time may you find comfort in having wonderful memories of James, God bless you.

"The solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom" ---Abraham Lincoln

Pride seems a silly word at a time like this, but pride is what Det. Allen's family should feel. Pride at his service, his dedication, his longevity, and his legacy. Your husband, son, father, friend, and co-worker died a hero.

God Bless the Allen Family.

Every day Policemen go to work, they serve their country and the people in more ways than recognized. By their mere presence, they protect and serve the citizens of every City and State and deter criminal activity.

Their call to duty lies deeper then what the public witnesses. Every day, every shift, and every hour, their lives are put at risk. Inside their hearts, they have Pride, Courage, Honor, and Loyalty. From issuing a citation to a traffic offender, to fighting the most violent criminals, they’re here to make the streets and neighborhoods safe.

Safe, so that Old Glory may fly proudly. Safe, so that the President and Congress can effectively govern America. Safe, so that the Soldiers may live in peace to protect our Country from foreign enemies. Safe, so that citizens may tour the Country, learn the history, and visit monumental sites that gave America freedom. Safe, so those families can peacefully live.

One day could be quite peaceful, while the next could be time to rock and roll. That is why they must never go against the brotherhood that is formed. City, State, or Federal, all Police, nationwide, has a common bond. A special Comradeship. They are their own family. One must never leave a brother behind, become a quitter, or worse yet, a coward. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

When their shift is over, they hang up their gun belts, take off their badges, and return home to their families. But, their service never ends.

Rest in peace my brother we will take the watch from here.

ST. Michael, Heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared GOD's premises of all it's undesireables,
look with kindly and professional eye on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, an uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, ST. Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the policeman's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the Devil, and your Angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our nightsticks, enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of GOD as we have been to guard the city of men.

Jimmy you gave your life to make our’s safer, for this I thank you. May you rest in peace, and may your family find comfort in knowing you will never be forgotten. May your brothers and sisters in Providence find the strength to carry on, and try to fill your shoes. (Former Providence police reserve officer)
