Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You'll be truly missed, Officer Cassidy, taken from us all in such a callous and cowardly way. I know the PPD will not rest until this coward is brought to justice.Rest easy officer-others have the watch now.

As a police officers wife I often come to this site. I always wish that I would know exactly what to say, but it is always hard. I am thinking of you wife, children and brothers and sisters in law enforcement today.

My deepest sympothies go out to the families who are vitims to the recent slayings of officers in the area and the country. We as police officers (civilian and military) put the ultimate price on the line everyday when we go into our "offices". When we take an oath to serve and protect, you have to realize we do not do it for the money, but for the mere safety and well being of our communities. I am sure Officer Cassidy and other fine, fallen officers would want to be remembered by the positive changes and the good things accomplished to help make the streets of Philly safe and the impact left on so many lives. My heart aches for the families and you are all in my prayers

“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.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God." ~Matthew 5:9 Officer Cassidy was needed to walk the streets of heaven. May God bless his family with strength and peace during their time of tragic grief.

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.

I was so sorry to read about the incident yesterday and saddened again to hear of your passing. May God grant peace and comfort to those who knew you or are affected by your loss. May justice be done for the criminal who took you from your friends, family and co-workers.

Rest well, warrior, your job here is done. Your brothers and sisters will continue to walk the thin blue line in your stead.
