Reflections for Detective Daniel Enchautegui
Sorry I was RDO. May your family find peace (somehow). Duty-Honor-Courage. May Saint Michael the Arcangel be your next partner. May you watch over the rest of us who are still keeping the faith. Never just another 8:35. God Bless my brother. "Fidelis Ad Morteum"

I truly believe there is no other profession that has brave men and women such as police officers. All police officers know that we are never really off-duty, because we are expected to stop crime that we see no matter if we are on or off the clock. Unfortunately, Officer Enchautegui life was taken by two punks when they shot him while he was trying to protect his neighbor's property off-duty. This officer is a genuine model that other officers in the profession should follow. I extend to the family to always remember this officer's bravery and courage, and to never forget the legacy in which he has left behind. Officer Enchautegui your shift is over now, we will take it from here. Rest in peace, brother...

“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.

You are a hero and will be forever missed. Your selfless ultimate sacrafice probably saved other police officers and emergency responders. You also prevented criminals from getting away with their crimes. We thank you - we respect you - we will miss you.
