"It is not the critic who counts.
Not the man who points out how the strong men stumbled,
or where the doers of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust, sweat and blood - who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again.....
Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat"

God bless and thankyou for your service and duty. Another colleague who has made the ultimate sacrifice for the people he swore to protect.

Having just recently gone through the loss of a fellow officer in a very similar situation, I know that no words can ease the hurt of those left behind. But know that D/S Tephford's sacrifice does not go unnoticed. I pray that God will keep you and protect you and rain down His peace upon you.

God Bless

Our prayers are that you are now with God and St. Michael, dear Deputy Tephford. We pray for the comfort of your family in this difficult time.

St. Michael please protect our Officers!

Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.
