Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My family would like to send our heartfelt sympathies to the family, friends, & fellow co-workers of P.O. Nels Niemi. You're in our thoughts and prayers. May God watch over all the brave men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line everyday as they serve & protect their communities.

“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.

Mrs. Niemi and the children Ofc. Niemi I am terribly sorry for your loss. I hope and pray in the coming weeks you will find solitude in the fact that your husband and father entered a career that no doubt he loved and stride for and that his love for all of you will continue on now more than ever. I lost a best friend April 23, 2005 and it comforts me to tell you that over the last three months the amount of support and love from our enormous law enforcement family has been unbelievable and has helped tremendously in my healing process. With respect and love

May God's eternal love and endless blessings be upon the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Dan Niemi. As senseless as this was, Officer Niemi did not die in vein. Read Romans 13:1-5 and maybe you will find it comforting.
Just know that there are folks all across this country that will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty.
