I pray that the Lord provide comfort and strength to Robin and family.
My thoughts and prayers are also with brother officers & support staff at the Pell City Police Department. I think of each of you every single day.
If any of you need anything, I am only a phone call away (anyone who took one of my TASER classes has my cell phone number).

Greg will be sorely missed. He was a hero to everyone who met him. I met Greg about a year ago when he helped me with a problem, and he told me not to hesitate to ask if I needed anything else. Several times he has shown up right away when help was needed. He really cared about people and making this a better world, and I will truly miss him.
Everyone I have talked to about Greg has nothing but praise for him a what a good guy he was. Please pray for his wife and family that God will help them through this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Surles family. I ask that those close to Kenneth's family help keep his memory alive so that his children will learn to know what kind of man and father he was. Stay close to his family and look out for them. Ken will be looking down to protect them also. He will never be forgotten.

Rest In Peace Brother. I pray for you, but especially for your family who must now do their best to survive without the father, husband, brother, and son that you were. It is a shame that these tragedies happen. As you walk the beat in heaven, know that we have the watch here.

My condolences to your family. However, they should be comforted by the fact that as a 5%er, you gave your all to this job everyday and made the ultimate sacrifice doing a job that few want to or are able to.
