I want to thank all the officers, disaptcher and other police employee's who joined us today. Paul was a hero and saved lives today by giving his.

Thank you for your service. We read about your sacrifice today while we were attending the Police Academy. We immediately lowered our flag half staff in your honor. Our prayers are with you and your family. We graduate in three months. At our graduation we will devote a moment of silence to you.

I am so truly sad to hear this news today. My boyfriend is a law enforcement officer locally and this news breaks my heart. I am praying and will remember his wife and children in my prayers as they will need much courage to face the days ahead. Please remember you are not alone and loved.

I am greatly saddened by the loss of Paul. I knew him well and he was an excellent police officer. We are leaving town Monday so I won't be able to attend his funeral service. My thoughts will be with him, his family and the entire Martinez Police Department.

Your a hero in every since of the word. Your soul will forever grace the grounds of the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C., where its there a statue emodies everything you stood for in your final hour....it reads, "The weak flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion."
It is with great honor and pride we say goodbye to an all american hero.

Paul: Thank you for being a hero. For doing your duty no matter the danger. My prayers are with you, your family and your brother and sister officers. In valor there is hope, and who know what further peril you prevented by stepping into that gap to protect those you do not even know. God bless brother. Thank God for police officers. They are the peacemakers.
