I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the family, friends and brothers & sisters of the Tuscaloosa P.D for their loss of Officer Trevor Phillips.

While those left behind are stuggling to understand this senseless loss of such a courageous and kind man, please know that the law enforcement community and the community you serve, will continue to support and pray for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Phillips and all of you during this difficult time. While he was taken too soon, Officer Phillips gave his life for a community he loved and a career he loved. In valor there is hope. His work and spirit will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace my brother ~

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

For Police Officer Trevor Scott Phillips:

The law officer on two wheels has additional precautions beyond all other perils that beset us. No amount of training and caution guarantees that any us will not encounter our last patrol each time we mount-up. We regret that our brother Trevor would meet his fate this day.

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

We are proud to render Officer Trevor Phillips, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.
