It was so sad to read that we have lost yet another officer in the line of duty.
I would like for the family, friends and co-workers to know that there are folks all across this country that will lift them in prayer before the Almighty.
May they experience the eternal love and endless blessings of our Lord ans Savior.

My heart goes out to the Family, Friends, and Co Workers of Officer Spaulding. It is always a tragic loss when a Brother/Sister in Blue falls in the line of duty. It may not be any comfort at the moment but please know that the love and support from your friends and community, including the Law Enforcement community throughout the Country, will help and guide you through this tragic event over the course of the next few days, weeks, months, and years. When one of us falls we all feel the pain.
I would hope that the 2 individuals responsible for that pursuit are charged accordingly for the death of Ofc. Spaulding. Rest easy Officer. Watch over us from Heaven. May the Lord bless you and your family.

The Policeman's Prayer


Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
This day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk,
May ease a brothers way.

Let me be kindly to the old
And to the young, be strong
But let me triumph over those
Whose acts are cruel and wrong.

And if according to your plan,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.


God Bless Rick's Family and Brothers.

“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 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.

Rick is the 3rd officer we have lost in this area in 6 weeks. G-d bless him, his family and fellow officers. It is devastating whenever we loose another hero, but for it to happen the day before Thanksgiving makes it even worse. As we all gather tomorrow to be with our families, may we all keep Rick and his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace brother.
