He is with Angles, who know the sacrifice he made serving his community. His name and memories will last forever with friends and family. May he rest in peace knowing he was on the right side of law and order. NOT everyone can do this job he died doing what he loved best and im sure as the rest of us can say " I wouldn't want it any other way" RIP Officer

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 59th anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

I did not know Dennis but I know how much this means to his grandaughter Sharon. We have spent so much of our time honoring fallen officers in DC every year during Police Week. I cannot wait until his name is added there, and you are officially a survivor family. (Not that we all didn't know you have been for years) To the family of Dennis F Collins, thank you for his dedication to duty. I can promise you that there are many of us that will never forget. God Bless.

I never got to know patrolman Dennis F. Collins, but my
husband was his oldest son. We discussed his dad many times and all conversations about him were that Don idolized
his dad. That was good enough for me and I was just sorry
I never got to know him. May he rest in peace and I hope I
get to meet him in Heaven.
