Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Harold Michael Altman
Rest in peace, Deputy. You made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of others. Thank you.

To commit an unprovoked attack / murder of a law enforcement official is unconscionable. To commit such an act against the official's family is unforgivable. May you Rest-in-Peace, Deputy Altman. ( I will refrain from suggesting the resting place for the suspects..... )

I sit here today in disbelief that another fine officer has paid the ultimate price. My family will have you and the entire Jackson Sheriffs Office in our prayers. Saying thank you for your sacrafice just doesn't seem to be enough. You will always be remembered as a hero and will be greeted in heaven with open arms. God speed and rest easy DEPUTY. We will do our best to take it from here. Keep an eye on us as we continue in your footsteps.

“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.
