Another senseless death. I do not understand the losses we are suffering. To the family, friends and co-workers of Trooper Longobardo, my prayers and sympathy go out to you in this time of grief. I share in your sorrow over the loss of your loved one, your brother. I will keep you in my prayers as I deal with the loss of our own Sgt Micah Burks, who I miss dearly. Please tell My Sarge that I miss him and I love him and weekends here at the ACSO are not the same without his beautiful smile and his funny stories. Your brothers in New York have the watch now and will catch the shooter, no doubt. May you rest in peace.

FINAL INSPECTION

Written by Peter Hornbach

The Policeman stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, officer. How shall I deal with You?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To my Church have you been true?"

The officer squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Cause those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.

But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep,
Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand.
I've never expected or had too much. But if you don't, I'll understand."

There was silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod.
As the officer waited quietly for the answer of his God.

"Step forward now, Officer, you've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's Streets. You've done your time in Hell."

My condolences go out to Trp. Longobardo's family, friends, and his entire NYSP family.
God Speed, Trp. Longobardo

I extend my condolences to the family and friends of Trooper Joseph A. Logobardo, and to the members of the New York State Police. Although we are all saddened by our loss, hopefully we can find comfort in knowing that Joseph died doing the best job in the world, being a cop. We should all be proud of Joseph's unselfish dedication to the citizens of New York, family, friends and co-workers.
