I am very sorry about what happened. He will be greatly missed. Even though I didn't know him he will always have a place in my heart. I know how you feel because I lost my only brother five years ago of cancer his name was William Faus Jr. of the Elkhart Police Department. Everyday officers risk their lives to help somebody and then this tragedy happens. The police department and the family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.


Sincerely,

My prayers are with the officers families and hoping Off. Norby heals quickly.
Also prayers are wiht the Dispatcher who was on duty that night Having had an officer injured in the line of duty while on my watch I know there is a certain level of grief, fear and guilt that noone else can understand unless they have been in that position.

Love and respect to all the men and women that put thier lives on the line for us everyday

I am deeply sorry for Nick's loss. Just being my brothers partner makes him a very special individual. Having spent a year in Iraq with Michael, I know the affect such dangers has on ones family and friends. I was there and still feared for Michael daily, I can imagine how those at home felt. My heart goes out to each and every one of the family, friends and co-workers. My deepest condolences are extended to all. Thank you all for the support given my brother as well. That means alot to him and us.

The Following is a "Line of Duty" Prayer sent by a New York PD officer:

In the Line of Duty
I never dreamed it would be me.
My name for all Eternity.
Recorded here at this hallowed place.
Alas,my name, no more my face.
"In the Line of Duty" I hear them say.
My family now the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears.
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest.
I now sleep in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind.
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me.
And with a heavy heart and bended knee.
I ask for all here from the past....
Dear God, let my name be the last (author unknown)

Corporal Polizzotto,
In the past two years, I have spent a lot of time in South Bend. My Fiancee lives in Niles, Michigan so she is only a few minutes away. Whenever we go out on the town in South Bend, I always feel safe walking the streets. It is men like you who give me that feeling of comfort. You are a true hero and I pray that your family and friends take comfort in that during their time of sorrow. Thank you for all you have done. Rest in Peace, you are with God now.

Less than two years ago, we lost a wonderful person, friend and dedicated Police Detective (Lavern Brann) while he and fellow Detective Greg Huggett were attempting to interogate an individual at his apartment bldg. The shots rang out killing Lavern and injuring Greg. We will NEVER FORGET and we're all still learning to live with the disbelief of it all. God bless Officer Polizzotto's dear family, friends, co-workers and fellow officers through this extremely difficult time ahead.

I saw on the news here in Indianapolis the tragedy that occurred in your city. My deepest condolences go out to the family of Cpl. Polizzotto. The death of an officer is never easy. It never should be. But there will be a comfort in knowing a very brave man answered the call to protect all of us. He paid for that call with the ultimate sacrifice. I am so sorry to learn of his untimely death. Rest well brother, your reward is indeed waiting for you in heaven.
