“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.

I come to ODMP almost daily and hope that the number of officers does not increase (obviously I know that it will and does-always to often).
God bless you officer Diaz and be assured that he will look after your family in this time of grief.

Our Fallen Brother
Author Unknown
As I held him close,
I began to cry
Wondering and hoping,
our friend would never die
I could see the whites of his eyes,
as he held me tight
The wind whispered through his hair
as we saw the light
He cried no more
as we fell to the ground
His one single tear,
Would never be found
Cry not my friend,
God will take you on home
The Angles in Heaven
shall not be alone
You're safe and well,
as a child to his mother
You will always be remembered as...
OUR FALLEN BROTHER
God speed Office Diaz. God bless you and your family.
Wife and mother in law of LEO's.
