It still doesn't seem real and it's been 2 years, if you only knew how missed and loved you are. The impact you had on all of your co-workers, me included was more than anyone I have ever met, I knew I could always count on you to be able to answer any question I may have had. Love out to Sarah and Katie. May you rest in peace Tim!

Almost everyday I have something I want to ask Tim. He was the smartest policeman I have ever known. I will probably never be the officer he was, but he will always be the officer I would like to be. There are no better!

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

For Sergeant Timothy Olsovsky:

Our duty as law officers depends upon constant and progressive training. Firearms qualification is high on the list of essential instruction and we are thankful for those who dedicate themselves to our betterment in training.

Tim was on-the-job and performing his duty when fate would call him for duty elsewhere. A leader and superior officer who now stands as a hero among heros in the ranks of those who surely will welcome him home.

We pray for the family, friends, co-workers and all who care about Tim on this day.

To Sergeant Timothy Olsovsky I am proud to render a final salute.
