Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On this date 50 years ago, I watched as our new president urged us "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Even at 5 years old I wanted a career in public service and after some false starts finally made it.

President Kennedy also said we would bear any burden and pay any price for freedom. Unfortunately now the burden is born disproportionately by you, your partner, and your families. We will carry the load from here. My sympathies to your family and department. Valor will be your memory.

"The Final Inspection"

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.

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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Rest in Peace Sister!

I am so sorry for your loss. How sad it is that people CANNOT obey the law. That they CANNOT respect the people who put their lives on the line everyday to protect and serve.
Thank you Detective Haworth for all that you did, you are well respected by me, I live my dream of being a police officer through all law enforcement officers who made it,( I couldn't pass the pushups) who are able to wear the gun and badge, and put on that uniform everyday. You will always be remembered, your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

RIP Detective Haworth.

To Family & Friends:
God didn’t promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain;
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way.
