Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

Holy Scriptures on Law Enforcement’s Mission:

“For the policeman [peace officer] does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman [peace officer] is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he [the peace officer] will have you punished. He [the peace officer] is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.” [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]

[Jesus Said,] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]

And he [Jesus] said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” [Luke 23:43 ESV]

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

You are not forgotten. I was just getting into law enforcement around the time this happened and it showed me the ugly and tragic side of things though we like to highlight the helping and serving, the positive side. I am sober and vigilant in part because of the sacrifice you made. Thank you.

Just saw that your killer was sentenced yesterday to life plus 10 years without the chance of parole. While it can not bring you back it gives me hope to see that this scum bag will not be out on the streets again. RIP Captain Cagle.

I know it's been over a year since my brother was shot in the line of duty but theres not a day goes by that he cross my mind. Either with sadness or funny childhood memories. I expect this will go on for the rest of my natural life. Dennis Cagle was not only a upstanding police officer who tried to help his community he was a son, brother,husband, father, grandfather,he wore many shoes and never failed to do his very best,most times than not very well. I know when I get to see Dennis again it will be a wonderful day,untill then I love you bubba. For all the familes who have lost a loved one serving his coner of the world this isn't an easy journey may God bless and keep you...............

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today. Wrap your wings around all of your loved ones and protect them from harm. Help them with their grief as I know they miss you beyond words. I wish you could have experienced retirement as you deserved it after the long career in law enforcement serving others. It takes a very special person to do this job and you are one of those individuals. Thank you for your dedicated service to law enforcement and others. You will never be forgotten.

With one year coming up, just wanted to let family, friends and co-workers know I've been thinking about all of you. You lost Cagle about a week after we lost one. Myself and another officer attended Cagle's funeral. For some of us, it hasn't been too tough a year. For some of us it has. A lot of thoughts have returned this past week on our man Philip's anniversary. Thoughts about you guys have also arisen. I've got all of you in my many prayers. Take good care of yourselves.

My thoughts are with all of your loved ones during this very trying time. I know the daily struggle they face without you being here with them for I walk in their shoes. I have no magical words to help them with their grief except that they talk about you to anyone who will listen and ask others that may have known and worked with you to share their stories of you with them. By doing this, it will keep your memory alive. Thank you for your dedicated service to law enforcement. I only wish you could have retired and enjoyed the time off that you earned after your many years of dedicated service to law enforcement. You will never be forgotten.

To the family and friends of Captain Dennis Cagle and his fellow officers:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Dennis was tragically killed.

To Officer Cagle's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of dedicated service Dennis gave to his community and the citizens of Tennessee, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on December 13, 2009.
