My fiancé, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis was a Deputy Sheriff with the Davis County Sheriff's Office in SE Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure David did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and David be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Officer Romero's family, friends, and co-workers are going through in losing him. My heart goes out to you all, especially to his wife. No one can truly understand the pain of our loss until they've walked in our shoes. Please know that my thoughts are with you and that you are not alone in your "journey". Should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. (The Davis County Sheriff's Office and COPS will also always know how to reach me.)

As a fallen officer "survivor" and a friend, please accept my condolences on behalf of myself and the McElderry family. I never got the opportunity to know David but, I am certain he was well respected and well loved. David will live on in the hearts of all the lives he touched. You were all blessed to have been able to know and love David, even for a short time. I pray that David and Dennis will continue to watch over us along with all the other fallen officers all as only they can.

Thank you Officer Romero for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiancé Dennis for me.

Wishing you and all those who loved you brighter and better days,

Jocelyne :)

I attended the funeral today in Downey, California for our fellow Traffic Officer David Romero. I am the same age and share the same time on the police motorcycle as did David. It truly was a day to reflect. My heart goes out to his family and his fellow California Highway Patrol officers. Law enforcement officers everywhere feel the pain when we lose one of our own. As I sit here now, he is in my prayers and in God's care. Rest in peace David.

As a fellow motor officer I am deeply saddened by the loss of this officer. Even though I did not know Off. Romero personally, we did share a bond, as we both are members of an elite group of officers who ride motors.
My sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and fellow officers.

Deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Ofc. Romero. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We motor officers take a lot of pride in wearing the "motor wings" on the uniform. But I'm sure your new set of wings are much more impressive. Be at peace.

"THE FINAL INSPECTION"

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

Rest in Peace, your sacrifice will never be forgotten
