“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.

It is a shame, waste, and crime beyond words that Deputy Pursifull lost his life the way he did. While society has certainly lost control of its youth, that same society should be forever grateful that people like Deputy Pursifull are there to protect the rest of us from the likes of a kid who would murder someone over a few dollars worth of gasoline.

It is always difficult to hear about another brother in blue passing. Even though I live and work now in Indiana, I grew up in Kentucky and started my law enforcement career there. To Deputy Pursifull's family and co-workers, I am very sorry for your loss. Hopefully justice will be just and swift for Deputy Pursifull and everyone affected by this tragedy.

Sean Pursifull Family & Friends,
Being that I am a NYS Trooper, I know what
kind of person it takes to be a cop. Police officers
are men and women who go beyond the call of duty.
They respond to the calls that help save lifes and protect
communities. I just want to you know that you are very Special (SEAN) and that we all love you and that I give my heart felt sympathy to your family and friends, during these tragic times. I will keep you in my prays and thoughts. Please Know that God watches over all Police officers and he loves them all the same. Rest in Peace Sean. We Love you and we miss you brother.
