Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It is a sad day when we loose a member of the family, even when its a member I don't personally know. Our prayers go out to the family members left behind. Please keep the knowledge in your hearts that there is no greater love than to lay your life down for another. I don't know all the details but as officers and especially SWAT officers we lay our lives down for one another every day. Ofc Simmons it is now time to rest in heaven for you have paid your dues. Know that your brothers and sister will stay and fight the fight until we someday meet in the presence of our Almighty Father and Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings

To the family of Officer Simmons,

My heart grieves with your family today. In February 1994, LAPD Officer Christy Hamilton, my aunt and my hero, was shot and killed responding to a domestic disturbance call. She died at Northridge Hospital. There are no words to describe what your family is experiencing, but please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many.

May God watch over us all.
