REST IN PEACE
"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I didn't personally know Cpl. Searcy even though we work in the same area. I met him while passing in and out of court rooms. This is a great loss to the community and I am saddened by this incident. May God bless his family through this tragedy by wrapping His arms of grace and mercy around them. I pray that God will comfort his wife and children as well and his fellow deputies at OPSO during this difficult time.

Heaven has gained another angel...may he wrap his wings around his wife and children and forever hold them close.

J.R., you will be missed tremendously, and your memory will live on forever. You were a great cop, both in the military, and in Law Enforcement. Take time off Cpl, let us do our jobs down here, and one day we will all be together again.
