We are safe because of men and women like you who voluntarily protect us from evil people. The loss of your life in the line of duty protecting your fellow citizens is felt by all of us who understand and appreciate the important contribution which law enforcement officers make to our society 24/7. May God bless you, your loved ones, and your fellow officers.

Jesus is my front sight,
sovereign in my life.
In peace or in battle,
He guides my warrior stride.
Jesus is my front sight,
FOR HIM NO MAN I FEAR!
Jesus is my front sight,
t'was He who led me here.

Calvin you will be truly missed. Don't know how many narcotic stops I've been on and have been so lucky to escape danger. You have truly paid the ultimate sacrifice. What makes you a hero is not how you died, it's how you lived. We'll take it from here. RIP brother. Class 404

My thoughts are with your family during this terrible ordeal. I hope that your close friends and agency stay close to his loved ones as they have a very long and rough road ahead of them. You are a true hero and heroes never die, you will never be forgotten. Stay close to your loved ones, wrap your wings around them and protect them and help them with their grief. I hope justice is swift.

“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.

Sometimes you get the bad guy and sometimes he
gets you.
The shot that killed you also killed a part of us.
It killed a part of your family, both at work and at home.
It killed your dreams, your hopes, your future.
But it must not kill our determination to make this
world a better place or our will to make a difference.
America's streets must be running red with blood with
all the deaths of leos. Every time I come here to leave
a reflection, I feel like my words get emptier and emptier. I am truly sorry for your loss...a loss too great
for words.
