Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Although I did not know her personally, she was a Corrections sister. It was this time exactly a year ago, myself in my state van amongst a parade of other white state vans and other various vehicles, were lined up to enter GDCP in Jackson to do our annual firearms recertification. It was at this time we were turned away and horrified to find out this young lady had been accidentally shot to death on the range and that it was closed. One year has passed, and today I, and about 30 other officers from my outfit, completed our firearms recertification at this range. As we did our courses of fire and practiced safety on the range, we did this in her memory. You will not be forgotten.

Tiffany,

This past weekend, I had the honor and privilege to meet and escort your family at the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation Memorial Service which was held at the National Law Enforcement Memorial wall in Washington DC.

In my eyes, you are a true hero. Look over those of us down here on earth that are still walking the beat and protect us.

Thank you for your service and commitment to your beloved profession.

Thank you for your service to the State of Georgia, to your community and to your fellow officers. Your fellow officers lost more than just a co-worker, they lost a friend. May GOD keep you in the palm of his hand next to His heart.

To Tiffany’s family and friends;
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Remember her often and cherish that memory. She gave all doing an all too often thankless job. Please know that Tiffany has brought honor and pride to the badge we wear. Your loss will not be forgotten.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiance Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Bishop. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Tiffany she sounds like she was a great woman with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew her in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Tiffany's life and the WOMAN that she was. Remember that Tiffany's life was about so much more than the way she died. Tiffany will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember her.

Officer Bishop, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight & a half years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

To the family and friends of Probation Officer Tiffany Bishop, her fellow officers, and most especially to Tiffany:

We honor your service and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Tiffany was so tragically killed in the line of duty. It is obvious she was well-loved by many and well-respected by her peers as reflected in the loving reflections left for her. Her picture shows such a beautiful smile and infectious passion for life.

May her loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Tiffany's parents, I share your anquish in losing a beloved child and understand the meaning of lives forever altered. I hold you in my heart's embrace today.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service and devotion Tiffany gave to her community and the citizens of Georgia, and the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on August 31, 2011.

A tragedy that a loving family will never forget. The Lord saw fit to remove her from this world. The dent that she has made on her co-workers, friends and above all..family will be everlasting. I am so sorry for the death of this rising star. I pray that her family is able to carry on in such a difficult time of need. My prayers and understanding will be forever in your corner. To the parents, Bishop and all other closely associated families, all the love, prayers and condolences.

There is not much I can add to everything so many have written here already. Thank you for your service. All officers everywhere will learn from this incident. That is not much condolence to your loved ones in a tragedy of this magnitude. But, I hope they take some small comfort in the knowledge that Officer Bishop will still be saving lives because the whole of Law Enforcement community will grow more vigilant to prevent similar accidents.

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"

I doubt I can come up with the words that could express my sincere sorrow for your loss. I can however express to your family my condolences for the loss of such a fine young woman who was ready to devote her life to the service of others. I can also tell you there is an army out here that will do the job I know Tiffany would be proud of. God Bless You Officer Bishop and all who are important to you.
