Here I am taking the long ride back home after attending the funeral services for Sergeant Christopher Reyka from Broward SO. It's just ironic that we have had two senseless killings in less than a week.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Harrison please know that the whole law enforcement community is grieving with you and we will stand by you.

God must have needed some supervisors in heaven right now. Rest in peace our brothers.

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

I remember working with Sgt. Harrison down in Hardee County when all the hurricanes came through a few years ago. We made the most of a bad situation being stuck in the Command Post all night...we joked and laughed and watched movies. Since then, every time he would see me he would always stop and say hi and talk for a few minutes. My heart goes out to his family and everyone who knew this very special man. I still can't believe he is gone, we have truly lost one of our finest. Rest in peace, Sgt. Harrison, we will miss you...and never forget...
