I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Langley, especially to his wife. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Robert, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Robert's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Robert's life was about so much more than the way he died. Robert will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Langley, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost four years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

To the Family of Officer Langley and entire University of Mississippi Police Department:

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you during this difficult time. I attended Ole Miss in the late 1970's and remember the friendliness and helpfulness of the officers, along with the sense of security that their presence provided the students. By reading your loved one's reflections, I can see all of that remains the same today.

To Officer Langley: "Thank you" for all you've done for our country and community. You will not be forgotten.

While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect.

The Final Inspection
Author Unknown


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

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

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

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

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

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've 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 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 policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."


I thank you for protecting all, and being a fellow patrolman. God Speed

Officer Langley has received the final call, “10-7”. His duty here has been fulfilled. However, this is not the end. The ultimate end is living forever with our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Robert Langley. My deepest sympathies to the family.

I worked with Robert when he worked in the Grounds Dept. at Ole Miss and was still there when he began working for the UPD. I remember him always being very nice and always smiling. I was very sad to read about his passing. My prayers go out to his family, his co-workers and all of the Ole Miss family.

Today we buried two defenders of peace; you, and Deputy Reynolds of the Fayette County SD, TN. We appreciate your sacrifice, and willingness to serve, not only in MS, but overseas, defending our country from terrorists. God Bless you and your family, and please continue to protect us from those who would do us harm, foreign and domestic.

Robbie,

Brother, when I heard the news words can't say the sorrow that I felt. I just sat and remembered all the good times we had back in the days at youth retreats. I always knew you were going to make a big difference in this world. The days following a tragedy are always the hardest but we must realize that you are smiling down at us from heaven. It is still hard to deal with the fact that you are gone. I just pray for your family and all your brothers in blue at UMPD. Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life down for another. You have made the greatest sacrifice that a police officer can ever make and you will never be forgotten for that. I also will never be able to listen to American Solider now with out seeing you face and hearing your voice on that video. We miss you. Your brother in blue.
