To Trooper Floyd family and friends our hearts and prayers go out to you. It is always sad to hear of an officer down, but it makes it a little bit harder when a few officers survivors will be in MS tomorrow for one of our camps, and to think that next year his wife will be there with us.
God Bless you all,

My deepest sympathy to Trooper Floyd's family and friends. I ask that the Trooper's brothers and sisters in blue help the Floyd family by staying close to his family and help them through this trying time as they have a long and rough road ahead of them. Trooper Floyd, stay close to your family and protect them. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten.

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE ***
