Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Alan Inzer
I started my career in 1987, Alan started a couple of years later, I remember him from the beginning as a man of few words but a great laugh, and a hearty smile. He was a man you could count on for back up, and a man to call on for help. It did not matter what else was going on when you needed him, he would always be there. As an FTO, he was professional, and caring for his trainee, and always strived to teach the new recruits the right way of doing thins, his moto was they will learn short cuts on thier own.
Alan Inzer was a true peace officer he understood that not every problem was solved by arresting somebody, that sometimes people just needed to shown the right way.
He will be missed by the community he served, and by the men and women that served with him. Alan died as he lived a true hero. He was my friend as he was many peoples friend and I will miss him.

To the wife, family and friends of Deputy Inzer,
May God bless and comfort you at this time. Make sure to go to Washington DC when special tribute is paid to Alan. It is such a special experience that helped us so much, especially my husband. He worked with his dad and is still patrolling. My father-in-law's killer was mentally ill and received life in prison without benefit of parole. It was incredibly hard to face that murderer in court knowing what he did and what he had put our family through. Good luck with any trials you may attend.
My husband was even injured himself 9 months after his dad was killed. But he stays dedicated just like it sounds Alan was on and off the clock.
Lean on your close friends and family to help you because the visits and phone calls from others will grow farther and farther apart. It may seem that people have forgotten, but they haven't. They will still care and won't ever forget him. Rely on other members of COPS, too, because they understand and truly care and want to help. I pray you will feel God's presence and comfort.
Sincerely,
Carol Linder

Diver Down
By Ryan Mareno
We knew there was a car,
The sonar said so.
Alan slapped my back,
“Mareno, Let’s Go!”
We got in the water,
It was dark muddy brown.
We signaled the boat,
“Both Divers Down!”
It was dark down there,
There wasn’t any light.
We couldn’t tell,
If it was day or night.
I didn’t care,
And neither did you.
Is this care red?
Or maybe dark blue?
You found it first.
You have me a tug.
I tied a rope to it,
While you kneeled in the mud.
We came to the surface,
Smiling ear to ear.
“We found the car! “
“Now throw us the gear.”
Remembering that dive,
And others there after.
Usually were filled,
With joking and laughter.
The words "Diver Down"
will resound in my ears.
Because my old friend
you're no longer here.
Losing a Dear Friend and Fellow Diver is not easy, we will never forget our friend, Diver , Coworker. Alan, you are forever in our hearts, and will be with us on every adventure we enter in the line of duty!
God Speed my FRIEND!

ALAN A TRUE HERO. ALAN AND MY HUSBAND WORKED TOGETHER IN
THE MARINE DIV. HE WOULD ALWAYS GREET ME WITH A HUG AND HIS
BIG SMILE. I HAD SUCH A SECURITY WHEN I KNEW ALAN WOULD BE
DIVING WITH MY HUSBAND. HE WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME I WILL MAKE
SURE HE COMES BACK TO YOU. HE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF OTHERS RATHER THAN HIMSELF. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY MY FAMILY AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
THANKS ALAN

As the wife of an officer on the Fugitive Task Force here in Lake Charles, I would like to say a very sincere THANK YOU to the officers serving on the Task Force in Louisville. First of all, thank you for your entry here which gave all of us who knew and loved Alan just one more small piece of the puzzle of the tragic event that took the life of our dear friend. The news of his capture brought us all here some much needed comfort at that time. I know for me personally, just reading your entry gave me a little more peace and eased the hurt I feel in my heart a little more. Most of all, thank you to everyone of you for putting your lives on the line to apprehend the person who selfishly took the life of our beloved Alan. I know our "boys" here would have done the same for one of yours without hesitation. I wish all of you could have known Alan. You would have loved him as we did. Thank you again for your honorable and selfless service.
To Alan, I love you dearly and miss you greatly my big brother and friend. This world is not the same without you in it. Our lives are changed for having known you. Although you are gone physically, your memory will never die. One day our son will learn all about his "Uncle" Alan. It gives me great peace to know that you are indeed with the Lord now, your heart feeling no pain, enjoying being a daddy once and for all!

A Police Officers Funeral
The funeral line was long,
There's an awful lot of cars,
Folks came out of the restaurants,
They came out of the bars.
The workers at the construction sites
All let their hammers drop.
Someone asked. "What is this all for?"
And they said, "Aw, just a cop."
Some chuckled at the passing cars.
Some shed a silent tear
Some people said, "It's stupid,"
"all these dumb policemen here."
"How come they are not out fighting crime?"
"Or in a doughnut shop?"
Sure is a lot of trouble,
For someone who's just a cop."
They blocked the intersections,
They blocked the interstate.
People yelled and cursed,
"Damn, it's gonna make me late!"
"This is really ridiculous!"
"They're makin' us all stop!"
"It seems they are sure wastin' time,
On someone who's just a cop."
Into the cemetery now,
The slow procession comes,
The woeful Taps are slowly played.
There's loud salutes from guns.
The graveyard workers shake their heads
"This service is a flop."
"There's lots of good words wasted,
On someone who's just a cop"
Yeah, just a cop to most folks.
Did his duty every day.
Trying to protect us,
Till they took his life away.
And when he got to heaven,
St. Peter put him at the top.
An angel asked him,
"Who was that?"
And he said, "Aw, just a cop."
WHEN YOU SEE AN OFFICER SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU....

Although I didn't know Alan well, my husband served with him in the Marine Division of the CPSO. His loss has been felt very deeply in our home. Alan's death has caused me to reflect on how precious life is and how fleeting it can be. I know from my husband that Alan was a good friend and a good deputy, whom everyone liked. I know from his actions on January 25th that he was a courageous and honorable man who had a strong since of duty. We will cherish his sacrifice and remember him well always.
