My thoughts and prayers go out to the Family, Friends and Co-workers of Tpr Brinkerhoff. I never had the honor to meet or work with Tpr Brinkerhoff, but he was my Brother, and a part of me has also died. Another member of New York States Finest was needed to walk the streets of Heaven, and to be a guardian to all the Officers who will continue the fight in Tpr Brinkerhoff's honor. May God Bless your Family in this time of need. God Speed Brother Brinkerhoff................................

“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.

As a wife of an officer who died in the line of duty, my heart goes to Trooper Brinkerhoff's wife and child. This is truly a dangerous world, but those who remain are safer because of the sacrifices of people like Mr. Brinkerhoff. He will not be forgotten. To his family: my prayers, my heart, my thoughts go out to you. Just remember that those who live in the Lord never see each other for the last time. From personal experience, I know my husband is still watching over us, as your husband, son, brother and co-worker is watching over all of you. May you find peace and support in those who love him and still surround you.
