To the Pokorny family and Pennsylvania State Police our hearts go out to you. Joseph is a hero to us all and we should all be thankful for his dedicated service to his community. We also lost one of our own who was gun down earlier this year. The suspect stole the Sgt. gun as well. We were lucky enough to catch the suspect three days later but his service weapon is still missing. I hope you catch the lowlife who did this and retrieve Joseph's gun. You are all in our prayers. God bless you Joseph and say hay to Mac up in heaven for me. He will lead you the way.

God Bless you as you go to that Heavenly beat. Your earthly deeds may not be forgotten because they were engraved with love on the hearts of those you served and worked with. Your leadership and friendship will be passed on to others because you served first. Rest my friend, and may God watch over your family.

Our Greatest Fear
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
too many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
" Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.

Let me express my condolences to the family and friends of Corporal Pokorny, as well as to his family in the Pennsylvania State Police. You all can rest easy with the knowledge that this man died a hero, and that you were fortunate enough to know him. I have great faith that none of you will rest until the piece of garbage that did this is locked up to await the justice due him. RIP Corporal, and thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Corporal...You have done your duty faithfully, now rest in peace in the special place reserved for you.

To the family of Corporal Pokorny...In these difficult times, stand strong and proud. The Lord will guide you through this. Find comfort knowing that Corporal Pokorny died defending us from the evil that surrounds us every day. He did not violate his Call of Honor, and for this he will not be forgotten. Through all us who wear the badge, his vigilance in upholding the law will go on.

Know that brother officers will never rest until those responsible are brought to justice.
