Officers Prayer

Will the bagpipers play on my funeral day?
Will a sea of blue stretch down this long road?
As Harleys rumble by and choppers thunder overhead
It is the sweet sounds of the bagpipers that I hear instead.
All have come here to pay their respects.
To listen to the story of the brave act I did.
Worry not for me because I'll be all right.
It is my wife who needs comfort
Through these long nights--
Who will teach my boy what is to be a man
Who will be there to hold my little girl's hand.
It is my family that needs you now, for I am at rest.
Let it be known that I worked with the best.
I did not live the longest of lives, nor one of great wealth.
It is the sacrifice I made that put me high upon this shelf,
Treated as a pauper in life but as a king in death.
All I did was my job like so many before.
So when you turn to drink to comfort your way
Remember what it is that I have to say.
When you raise your glass in memory of my name
Know you are my brother for you would have done the same.
It is only we who run toward what others run from
Now I run no more, for my work is done.
As this wooden vessel carries my body through this sea of blue
Listen for the bagpipers and hear what they play
For it is their sweet music that carries my soul today.

God bless you and your family.

For many of us, words will not express the sorrow we feel for your loss, or the pride we feel for the honor you bestow on the badge. We will miss you on last call. Rest well brother, the next watch is on duty.

I did not know you, I did not walk your path,
But we are brothers in a profession that is so important but that also has such consequences. I paraphrase the words and President James a Garfield in 1865
"We do not know one word this man spoke,
we do not know one dream this man had, but
we do know by one act he upheld the highest standards of men and citizens. For love of others he accepted death and that made immortal his virtue and citizenship." Rest in peace brother, we have your back. TJohnson

though i do not live in your city, nor do i know you personally, i grieve with you during these days. i lost my husband, asst. chief deputy keith lyon, 8 months ago - he, too, was killed in the line of duty. i just wanted to say that i will be praying for you, that God would surround you with comfort, peace and strength in the coming days, and that the love and concern of all the people around you would encourage you and help you take one step at a time, just as you know he (calvin) would want you to. i was amazed at the support we received from law enforcement organizations all over the country and with everything that i experienced in the days and weeks following my husband's accident - i think it's safe to say that for you, too,it will be like nothing you've ever known before. peace to you, carla h. lyon, knoxville, tn.

Every night as I put my 2 year old son to bed and we say our prayers, we end with "God bless all of the policemen, firemen, and soldiers who keep us safe. Dear Jesus, if you should call one of them home tonight, give them eternal peace and give their families the strength and courage to continue on."

Tonight when we say our prayers, we will add Tpr. Jenks and his family to our list. Thank you and God bless you, Tpr. Jenks and God bless your family, friends and fellow troopers.

Our prayers go out to your Wife and Family. I want to leave this poem for you and your family it's always been my favorite.
When the Lord was creating Police Officers, He was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said,
"You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, "Have you read the requirements on this
order? A Police Officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle their uniform."
"They have to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day."
"They have to be in top physical condition at all times,
running on black coffee and half-eaten meals, and they have to have six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands . . . no way!!"
"It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord, "it's the three pairs of eyes an officer has to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before they ask, 'May I see what's in there, sir?'"
(when they already know and wish they'd taken that accounting job) "Another pair here in the side of their head for their partner's safety, and another pair of eyes here in front so they can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, 'You'll be alright, ma'am,' when they know it isn't so."
"Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow."
"I can't," said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck."
The angel circled the model of the Police Officer very slowly. "Can it think?" she asked.
"You bet," said the Lord, "it can tell you the elements of a hundred crimes, recite Miranda warnings in its sleep, detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less time than it takes five learned judges to debate the legality of the stop . . . and still it keeps its sense of humor. This officer also has phenomenal personal control. They can deal with crime scenes painted in hell, coax a confession from a child abuser, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper how law enforcement isn't sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Police Officer. "There's a leak," she pronounced, "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."
"What's the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag, for justice."
"You're a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber,and said "I didn't put it there"

To the family of Trp. C.W. Jenks,

I would like to offer my prayers for your loss. I didn't know your son, but I feel your pain. I know your son was a good man. I know this just based on him becoming a TROOPER. We here in S.C. have a saying. "All men are created equal, but some become Troopers". This can be said for your son, brother, and friend. Please know that we are all a family and share in your loss. Godd bless Calvin and you all.
