Rest in Peace Tim. This is such a tragic event that we will never forget. We will also never forget that you responded to this scene, before your actual tour of duty began, to try to save people that you didn't even know. You are a true hero!

Officer Warren, your unrelenting bravery in the face of peril shall not be forgotten. Your sacrifice for the well-being of those requiring immediate help is a testament to you and your fellow heroes on this Fourth of July, the full-time men and women of the Memphis Police Department.
For Officer Warren's bereaving loved ones, closest friends, and colleagues, I offer you my heartfelt condolences for this senseless act. I know you are hurting and my heart aches for your loss.
Officer Warrant, I will keep you in my thoughts and in my heart for the years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
Police Officer’s Prayer (Author Unknown)
Lord, I ask for courage
Courage to face and
Conquer my own fears…
Courage to take me
Where others will not go
And please, Lord,
Through it all,
be at my side…

My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to all at the
Memphis Police Department. And to Tim's family especially.
Ofcr Warren's tragic passing is an assault on all society. Tim's life has ended abruptly too soon. The remaining members of MPD must now take up the watch.
As a former public safety dispatcher, I know what you are all going through emotionally at this time. But life goes on. I deeply appreciate the hard work that must be done both on the street and
in the operations center. For those in uniform and your families, we care very much about and for you. Protect each other as you
go about protecting us. WEAR those VESTS at all times.
Be careful and be safe always.

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.
