I just read that the suspect in this tragedy has been captured. How fitting that it happened on the day that Officer Reaves is laid to rest.

I left NPD in 2003 and didn't have the pleasure of working with Officer Reaves, but that didn't stop me from grieving.

Rest in peace, Officer Reaves.

I heard the news today of an officer from a department this close to home losing his life in the line of duty. In this job we're often forced to keep our emotions suppressed, but I couldn't help not shedding a tear. The part that pains me the most whenever I hear news like this is the thought of family left behind... not just the ones tied by blood, but the ones in blue as well. Words simply cannot sufficiently express my condolences. Although every cop's death is sad indeed, this one hits so close to home because this fine brother was doing nothing but helping a citizen in need. Rest in peace.

OFFICER REAVES,THAT DREADFUL EVENING I WAS DISPATCHER FOR THE DETECTIVE AND TRAFFIC CHANNEL WHEN THE CALL CAME IN AND ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS..I WANTED THE SUSPECT TO BE CAPTURED. I DID NOT WANT TO BE RELIEVED FROM THE CHANNEL UNTIL SUSPECT WAS CAPTURED. I RELUCTANTLY HAD TO BE FORCED FROM THE CHANNEL BY MY SUPERVISOR, AND MY FIANCE - WHO IS ALSO A NORFOLK POLICE OFFICER, WHOM I ALSO WORRY ABOUT BECAUSE HE IS ALSO ON PATROL. MY SOUL CRIED BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BE RELIEVED OFF THE CHANNEL. I WANTED TO SEE THIS HIDEOUS INDIVIDUAL IN CUSTODY BECAUSE HE TOOK THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND A GUARDIAN OF JUSTICE FROM MY WATCH. I WANTED JUSTICE FOR THIS COURAGEOUS SOUL, SON, HUSBAND, FATHER AND A VOICE OF PEACE TO BE JUSTIFIED. OFFICER STANLEY REAVES LOOK DOWN UPON US ALL AND PROTECT YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON PATROL. MAY YOUR ESSENCE GIVE US ALL ENCOURAGEMENT THAT YOUR GREATEST GIFT TO US ALL MAY NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOUR FAMILY BE BLESSED AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A SIGNAL FOUR (I'M OK).

Brother Reaves you will always remain in my memory I feel honored to have been in the Trauma Bay with you as you drew you last breath and passed into heaven, you can rest in peace knowing that your family will always be part of ours they will not need or want for anything other than their father and husband. Watch over us and we have the watch from here. The coward who took you from this world will be found and justice will be served.

The prayers and thoughts of our family go out to the family of Officer Reaves. We know first hand how difficult this can be and are certainly far from recovering ourselves from our loss. We have vowed to try and help any family of a fallen officer. Our prayers are that the individual(s) responsible for this be brought to justice in this life and the next. The only advice we can offer is to take things one day at a time and to remember all of the good. If Stan was anything like Jonathan, the last thing he would want you to do is suffer.

To your family, loved ones, friends and fellow law enforcement family:
May God be with you and give you peace, and the strength to go on with out your loved one.

To Officer Stanley Reaves - You made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting your community, may you rest in peace, and know you will never be forgotten. This prayer is for you:

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our earthly nightsticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God, as we have been to guard the city for all of the people.
