Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The will of good must triumph over evil. Whenever we lose another brother in law enfocement there is resolution that the life we have chosen has many sacrifices, but none are more sacred to us than this. We pray this officer has a long journey in heaven as he watches over the rest of us. Our condolences go to his family and we want them to remember that this young man was a hero and will forever be a part of our brotherhood.

God Bless.

The definition of hero is someone who does the right thing despite the personal outcome or consequence.

The fact of the matter is is that soldier was most likely on his way to commit mass murder. D/S Paugh intervened and most likely saved numerous innocent lives.

God Bless D/S Paugh and i hope the memory of his heroism can someday assuage the terrible loss his family, agency, and community feel.

In Valor, There Is Hope

Sincerely,

As I wake up and see a law enforcement officer knowing that I am safe. As I fall asleep knowing a law enforcement officer is watching over me. As I take the time to realize what life really is, doesn't mean they aren't watching over me. When I put on the badge and take the oath, I know that I am dedicated to watch over others.
