I am sorry to hear about your loss. We have lost our un-fair share of officers from our community in the past few years and it never gets easier to understand. The larger family supports you all and will keep you in our thoughts.

For Patrolman Karl R. McDonough:
The risks of the patrol officer are many, and one of the largely recognized among them is the threat from the individual who, despite the myriad public cautions, chooses to drive while drunk. He or she is a manace and wanton killer. We regret that our brother Karl, a soldier-of-the-law, would be the latest DUI victim statistic, but fate has deemed it to be so. We will trust that vigorous and deliberate justice will follow.
We pray for Karl's family, friends, co-workers and all who cared about him. We pray that they will reach-out to one another in the times of need.
I am proud to render Patrolman Karl McDonough a final salute.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got 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 an unmanly tear.
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 often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
