Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I entered my precinct this morning to the news that a fellow officer had fallen in the line of duty. It is always hard to swallow when one of our own makes the ultimate sacrifice and gives his life for the job. I did not know Gary but his bravery and commitment has moved me and made me all the more proud to be a Police Officer. I will carry him in my thoughts and wear my badge even prouder. Rest in Peace.

Thoughts for Officer Buro's Family:

"A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.

Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.

All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.

I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.

I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.

Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.

For Officer Buro:

Thank you for the years of dedication you gave protecting us - throughout your military service years and your years "on the job." God Bless You!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

May God be with all of your family, friends and co_workers.
There are no words to describe the loss that you are all feeling. Our community has just lost a fellow officer of our own. Officer Scott Severns laid his life down for another.May you be at peace and THANK YOU for your service that you have provided. The police officers work such a THANKLESS JOB. Each and every officer feels the pain and loss that you are feeling now. Just look ahead and believe and GOD will show you the way. My friends that I have lost will take care of you and show you the way. Once again, thank you and you will never be forgotten.

As a law enforcement officer we all know that each day we leave for work we may not return. But,it is in the concern, caring , and love of people that we all assume this risk. It is never easy to say goodby to a fallen hero. Hopefully, even in death, he will live forever in the remnants of his career and the positive impacts he has made throughout life.

Domestic violence situations are the most volatile and dangerous we can ever respond to. May your sacrifice save the life of another, that he may never be complacent and let his guard down. You truly are a hero. Heartfelt prayers to your family and department. God Bless.

Our Greatest Fear

Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officers final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", its 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 its a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some dont 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,
to 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 officers final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", its our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.
