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 touched so many lives, and you made the ultimate sacrifice for someone you didn't even know. Heroes like you show us what the world could be like if we all loved one another. Your story and others like it are a big reason why so many of us decide to put on the uniform and do what little we can for the families of others. Its why we have hope someone would do that for our families.

To your friends, family, and coworkers, I am truly sorry for your loss.

We will keep your memory alive always.

Deputy Sheriff Deutch,
On today, the 10th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the NVARNG-especially in Afghanistan. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I knew Ian Michael Deutch as a younger kid. My mother trained with him a lot as she was a part of the Nye County Sheriffs Office Search and Rescue. I played the victim in the training a lot. Sometimes Ian would hide with me and be the funniest man alive. I loved him as a person and as a role model. He has inspired me to do many great things such as join the Nye County Sheriff's Office Exploree Program and pursue the career of Law Enforcement. I will never forget Ian as he is a brother and a role model to me.

Rest in Peace Ian

I only ever got to meet Ian once. I was fresh out of academy and in my first week of field training. As I came on duty one day I passed by him in the parking lot. He stopped me to welcome me. He knew several of my family members, mainly by arresting them.

We stood in the parking lot talking for about a half an hour just talking and laughing. After speaking with him my nerves about field training were at ease and I felt like one of the guys. He went off duty after that, and I just started my shift.

I never got to work with him. The next day my FTO called me and told me 2 hours before shift began and told to get ready now, we had an emergency. As I called on duty and learned what happened, we were all shocked. To hear of his passing later that night hit everyone hard.

As I reflect on just one brief moment of my life that I got to know Ian, it leaves an imprint in my mind about how welcomed he made me feel. I can only imagine that everyone that knows him feels the same way. His professionalism was an example to me. Thank you.

You had that dang smile all the time. No matter what was going on as long as I could see that smile I knew we would be ok. I remeber a dark morning where a fellow Deputy was shot and you were part of that. I came racing to the scene. There you were with that smile. You brought me peace. As life moves along I know that you are watching over. I truely believe you are an angel and watching over as I have seen. You still owe me that salute. Thank you for blessing me.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your partner.

I am also a Police Officer in Tallahassee Florida and will be riding my bicycle 250 miles from Virginia to Washington D.C. in honor Deputy Deutch in this years Police Unity Tour.

If it is not too much to ask, I would like to contact a department representative or family member so that I might meet the family if they will be in Washington D.C. for Police Memorial Week.

Thank you for your time and it will be an HONOR to ride for your fallen Officer.
