Deputy Albee, yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of your murder at the hands of a miserable excuse for a man. You showed courage approaching that car.

Though I have not left a Reflection before, in seeing Deputy Severson's tribute page today, then seeing your name below, I do not want to acknowledge his passing and not yours. Your murder is as much a horror today as it was then and I'm sure for those left behind, it hurts just as deeply.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Allen was a friend of mine and it is a rare day when I do not think of him. When I was called into the captain's office on April 19, 1991, and informed that Allen's life had been taken I was stunned.

I went home, changed clothes, packed some clothes and drove the 70 miles to the Burnett County Sheriff's Deparment. As I arrived in the parking lot, Officer's Mark Kelsey, Craig Faulstich and Ed Wolwert, of the Hayward Police Department were also arriving. It was a very emotional event to meet these other officers who also traveled approximately 70 miles as soon as possible.

Allen saved my life during a drug deal in Burnett County when things got bad and people went for guns - Allen came "through" a door and took out the person behind me who was attempting to get a gun out of her pocket - while I controlled the main suspect. No one got hurt that day, and I lived because my friend was there.

I do miss Allen and think of him often - I will never forget what you did for me big guy - I wish I could have been there for you.

Sue, Shaun and Dawn - Your father was, and is - A HERO

Allen and I (along with many others) worked a meg drug unit in northern Wisconsin and ALlen was one of the most dependable to give a hand. This big ole teddy bear loved doing the job.

"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.
