Reflections for Officer Sergio Carrera
You will be missed by your family, friends, and fellow officers. You are one of the brave, that gave to the community in which you served, to make it a safer place for those who live there. As the spouse of a fallen officer, I pray for your wife, children and family. They know "that it is not how you died that made you a hero, it is how you lived your life." Rest in Peace Officer Carrera.

"A Part Of America Died,"
Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.
*anonymous*
We have lost another officer because someone doesn't have any value for another persons life. How tragic.
Hopefully these meager words will help the family, loved ones, and all who wear the badge of law enforcement to go through the dark days to come
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

“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.

My prayers and blessings go out to your family Sergio, they also go out to your Brothers and Sisters of the Rialto PD. Though our Heavenly Father has called you home, you will be deeply missed here. But don't you worry my son, your family will be ok with our Lords help and your brothers and sisters in blue will take on your watch here on earth. You need only rest now and look back on all the good you did as a Police Officer, all the people you helped and saved. You now take on the job of being on watch in heaven, it's an easy tour but it's your most important tour of duty. When the time is right, we will all be reunited in heaven. God Bless all who wear the Uniform.
