Even though we did not work side by side, I feel the same pain as your "brothers in blue". At your funeral, your wife and children displayed the most amazing amount of courage and love. I know that you are very honored to have such a strong, loving family. You are a huge loss to our department and will be missed. Rest in peace and may your family know that they will never be alone.

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this most difficult time. My blue light shines in my kitchen window 24/7 praying for all you to return home safely.
Watch over his family as he watched over all of us during his time on Earth and will continue to do in heaven. His pain is gone, but not that of his family.

As a wife and mother of police officers and I fear the pain that you have abstained. I pray for you and your family. I did not know Sgt. Plouff but working with the other agency as a dispatcher I know that he was a great officer. I know that when our officers called for help that he responded with great pride. He was thinking about helping them stay safe. As employee of the other agency I thank you for your sacrifice. May you rest in peace. I did not attend the service but my son did. He said that you have a strong family but remember that you all will always be in our prayers. God Speed.

I worked on several different occasions with Sgt.Plouff. He always treated me with respect and was always liked. I remember one night I was working a hustle at a car lot. I went to talk to another officer working a hustle at the car lots body shop. An alarm went off at the place where I was supposed to be. When I got back Sgt. Plouff was there. He told me next time to bring toliet paper and a bucket because I was not allowed to leave the lot. He figured I went to the bathroom and I never told him any different. He was someone that all officers could look up too. I no longer work in Winston-Salem but have since moved to Illinois. I send my prayers to the Plouff family and to all the WSPD personnel. The Marines gaurd the gates in heaven but the Police work the golden streets. Rest well Sgt.
