Most of society lives in a world that doesn’t recognize what gives them the comforts they live in. Because of you, and people like you, society can live that way.
You put the badge on to make the community a better place. You put the badge on for justice. You put the badge on to save life. You put the badge on for the principles it represents. The badges didn’t make you a hero, the badge was worn by a hero. To your family, and the generations that followed, thank you for your service. Be proud of this man.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 166th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to my home state and the birthplace of my son. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

SHERIFF PHILLIPS, YOU ARE A HERO FOR SURE. BACK IN YOUR TIME, THERE WAS NO AIR-CONDITIONED CROWN VIC'S TO RIDE IN. IT WOULD SURELY TAKE A DEDICATED OFFICER TO RIDE THAT MANY MILE'S IN THE WILDERNESS. YOU HAVE SERVED WELL. MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
