"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."

I never knew Officer Brown, but I have met many Officers from the SAPD. My heart goes out to Officer Brown's family and loved ones and to her extended family the San Antonio Police Department. It's always tough to lose one of our own and to lose Officer Brown like this, just makes it that much worse. Our prayers are with you.

My heart aches for this family, for her husband and 7 month old daughter. My heart aches when I hear of the loss of my fellow sisters/brothers in law enforcement. This is so horrible a young mother, a young wife, a young police officer, a young career. My prayer is that God will have healing comfort for this family, for the San Antonio Police Dept.

To the family of Officer Brown I am sorry for your loss. To the daughter of Officer Brown, if you should ever happen to read this I would want you to know that your mother is a true hero. It takes a rare breed of woman to balance the demands of motherhood and police work. Officer Brown rest in peace.

How incredibly sad that you will not be here to raise your daughter, but I'm sure your memory will be kept alive for her and you will watch her from above. I hope she realizes what a hero her mom was and makes you proud.
