Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

No one is ever prepared for a tragedy like this. A young husband, father, son, coworker was taken and naturally we all want to know why! God works in mysterious ways.

To Officer Preslar's family, friends and coworkers - you are not alone in your grief. The entire police community is mourning with you as if he were our own local hero. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I know you will wake each day overwhelmed with sorrow. Keep on going. The pain will never be gone but with time it will at least be tolerable.

Officer Preslar - you are such a hero. Watch over your wife and girls, your friends and fellow brothers and sisters in blue.

The thin blue line is getting thinner... keep them safe.

POLICEMAN'S 23rd PSALM

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done . . . ,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.
