Again another senseless loss has occurred. TO all the Officers at the Fairfield Police Department, the loss you have just experienced is felt by all of us who wear the badge or shield. Our Office had just dealt with the loss of D/S Matt Williams EOW 9-28-06. Come together and celebrate Officer Smith's life and cry on each others shoulder. The media stated that one suspect is in custody and I hope the other one is dealt with quickly. GOD BLESS

Officer Smith, thank you for your willingness to serve your fellowman. I was at lunch earlier today when it came across the bottom of the television screen of officers being shot in Alabama. My prayers go out to you and your loved ones and also for the other officer who was shot. God bless you. Rest in peace my sister.

“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.
