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]

There is no greater sacrifice than the ones of our protectors. Your families can be so very proud of the lives you are still touching, affecting & teaching even today. It is becoming known that we all as a people lose when one of our finest is gone. It is with ultimate respect & honor that I share these words. Thank you is never enough, but I dedicate my life to educating others through my example how to honor & respect our protectors. I am forever with a broken heart each time I read & think about LODDS. I'm sure you are all watching over us from where you are. I'm very proud to have the brave men & women of our country love humanity as much as you do in blue. Sincerely...

I was able to speak with a fellow officer of yours that you trained at National Police Week-2015. We sat at the wall and exchanged stories. He is still hurting from your loss, but knows you are with him. Know that you made a HUGE impact on him and your department. You will not be forgotten!

Thor was my first roommate in college at Illinois Institute of Technology. He was a great roommate and a friend that year. He was 27 and out of the Army and full of a lot of good advice for an 18 year old that needed it. Thor really took me under his wing and took me to a Bears/Giants game at Soldier Field. He also had me over to his parents house to watch UFC 2 with his brother and friends. Thor was a good guy. Today as I was surfing Facebook, I thought to look him up and this is what I found. I'll miss you Thor and thank you for your service.
