Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Larsen, you were well known to me and to all Richmond Hill residents as a fair, kind and highly professional law enforcement officer. You protected my family and me from a dangerous criminal on one occasion in particular. I owe you a debt of gratitude for that. I pray that you rest in eternal peace. May your family, friends and collegues be comforted at this time. Our community has lost a fine, honorable deputy who we can never replace.

Reality

Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.

No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.

Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!

Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.

Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.

More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!

Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.

Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.

All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.

So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…

To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

Brother,

You have not died in vain. Your shift is not over, You are still 10-8. Like Sgt. Shepperd and those who have gone before him there will come a time in the future when you are called upon to finish out your shift. Their will be an Officer/Deputy who is alone and in pain. They will be looking for someone to comfort them and show them the way home. That is when you will be called upon to finish out your shift. Rest now brother, we will finish what you have started.

Mike - we grew up together in Benton County Indiana. Fishing poles and spider bikes. We were young and full of life. We parted company and followed our own paths down lifes highway. Only later did we come together again as brothers in law enforcement. Your sister Joy was so proud and spoke of you often when I saw her at work. You will be greatly missed my friend...by family, friends and the community that you served so well. Rest in peace Deputy Larsen...
