For Deputy Sheriff Melissa Powers:

The law officer on patrol relies heavily upon fellow officers for back-up when things suddenly go bad. The call for help is answered with the promptness and urgency that one anticipates for themselves, knowing that seconds always count. Similarly, when a fellow officer is believed to be in some sort of trouble, either in the absence of radio response or in an unclarified situation, tension builds until the full circumstances are known.

We regret that our sister Melissa had to be a causualty in the course of performing her duty, especially when her thoughts were for the benefit of her law enforcement family. She acted with cause, concern, dedication, diligence and a large measure of honor.

We pray for Melissa's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about her. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.

As a retired trooper and retired Lake County (FL) deputy sheriff I am proud to render Deputy Sheriff Melissa Powers a final salute.
