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,
to 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 Silvera, thank you for all you have given...keep watching over us, we will take it from here. God bless you and your family. You will never be forgotten!!

"The guardian angels of life sometimes fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us." - Jean Paul Richter

There are no adequate words of comfort to offer. God be with your family and friends.

Ofc Silvera and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for your making this a better and safer world. You fought the fight, but our dear Lord needed another guardian angel to walk the streets of heaven. Stay by the side of all your "brothers and sisters" who will continue to fight with you at our sides. God Speed Officer Silvera, until we meet in heaven.

On behalf of the men and women of the Wadena Police Department, may I express our deepest sympathy on the tragic death of Officer Shawn Silvera. Please know that you, your Department and the family of Officer Silvera are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Our own Officer Peter Resch died in the line of duty this May 19, 2005 and we still find items of his to remind us how much we miss him.

In the weeks to come, it will be a challenge for the family with the enormous amount of filling out paperwork from all the various local, state and federal level agencies. This is where they will need you, friend, family, co-worker, and extended family members.

May you all find strength to support the Silvera family and support the Lino Lakes Police Department.
