Another rookie Heaven....an event I was hoping would not happen. Ofc. Smith, as I serve the rest of my shift tonight, I do so in honor of your sacrifice. To the family and brothers/sisters in blue, I pray for your peace. That in your mourning, there God will be to embrace you and walk with you through this horribly dark night. Half a world apart, know that your sisterin blue mourns with you.

Words cannot end the sorrow that the family, coworkers and friends are feeling at this senseless loss. But please know that I said a prayer tonight for your healing and for God to keep you close during this time. Lean on each other, stand for each other. Thank you Officer Smith for your choice to be an officer and to watch over others, and protect others. You will not be forgotten. God speed to you, sir.

Even in the areas most would love to live, a historic island in our beautiful Pacific Ocean, danger lurks. Proof again that no call is routine anywhere an officer responds.
My sympathies to your family and all the members of what must surely be a close knit department. We are all diminished by your passing. You will never be forgotten.

“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.
