Such a tragedy to lose a brother like this. For those who could not make it to the services today I would like to tell you that it was an awesome sight to see so many officers, from as far as San Diego County to San Fransisco and all in between, show their respects to our fallen hero. Det. Haws, you will not be forgotten. On behalf of all the California Dept. of Corrections, thank you for such dedication to your community and for paying the ultimate sacrifice. May you REST IN PEACE.

I am so sorry for the loss that your family has suffered this week. I attended the Memorial Service for your husband today and truely he was a servant to his family and to this community. Then I watched as the processional passed by me down the street and watched in amazement of the long stream of law enforcement cars from all over the state that speaks to these men and women serving the people in our communities. Thank you to all who serve.

Thank you Det. Haws for the incredible sacrifice that you paid, my prayers are with your family that God will comfort and keep them during this time.
