Reflections for Police Officer Arnulfo Crispin
My thoughts and prayers are with Office Crispin and his family... You are with our fellow brothers and sisters that have gone on before you. Even though we have never met, we are brothers by badge.. May God keep your family close in their time of grief. But may they take comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, keeping watch over them from above. God bless.

Brother in blue, though I may have never met or worked with you, your loss is felt by all that has ever worn the badge. May God bless you and your family. We have the watch here, you may now patrol the streets of gold. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God, Matthew 5:9.

Although we never have met, we are related by the blood and the thin blue line that we have shared. I grieve along with all your friends, family, and fellow brothers and sisters that had the honor of working with you every day. Godspeed my brother, we have the watch now. Your service, and courage will never be forgotten my friend.

My deepest condolences to the family, members of the department, and those served, at the loss of this officer. May faith, family, friends and time join together to ease everyone’s pain at this time of loss.
While many other career choices were certainly available, this officer chose to protect his fellow man, and for this we give everlasting thanks. As the Good Lord said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”
Thank you for your service, your convictions and moral character, as well as your devotion to duty. May you now rest in peace, knowing your fellow brothers and sisters will continue the Watch!

They should just shoot that piece of garbage that shot the officer, and save tax payers a lot of time and money.
Officer Crispin was far too young and brave to die like this. I think his death will be remembered, because people are getting tired of cowards in our community taking our loved ones away from us.
May Officer Crispin Rest In Peace & and may his family take comfort in knowing they are in our thoughts & prayers.
