Your life and what you stood for is the reason I became a police officer. You chose to live your life according to your beliefs and in the end, you never wavered from those convictions. The citizens of Cleveland have been reminded once again that police work is a noble but dangerous profession which calls for tremendous self sacrifice and a sworn commitment to serve and protect. Those of us in the law enforcement community will never forget the legacy you left behind. You are a hero Officer John Schroeder. We thank you and may God bless you.

As I finish my shift, I decided to log onto the page quickly before going home. My heart sank seeing all the additional names added to the dreadful list since I was last here a few weeks ago. Knowing that you died today, while I am free to go home to my family just makes me wonder why. May your family know that they are not alone in their pain. It has rippled from coast to coast. Thank you to all of my brother/sister officers with Cleveland PD who work so hard to keep the streets safe for my relatives in your city.

“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.
