I know we were all shock and stricken by Saturday's tragic event at our dispatch center. I know that are few little which can be said to ease your suffering. Perhaps what I can so is what I do best. I make tribute memorial videos as a way of easy the pain of such loss and I would be honored to prepare one for all the fallen officers and make it available for use at any services at no charge. Just please get the photos to me as soon a possible as these special videos do take time to make.
