Mis más profundo pesar par las familias Castro-Berrocales. Es una real tragedia que familias tengan que sufrir por causa de aquellos quienes no tienen respeto por el orden público y que han secuestrados nuestra bella Islas Puerto rico. Aunque mis palabras no devolverán a la vida a nuestro compatriota y ex oficial Sargento “Abimael Castro-Berrocales” del orden publico pero si espero en Dios que los responsables sean traídos a justicia por no tener respeto a la vida. “Porque la justicia siempre prevalece”

!Gracias por tu servicio!

So sad the first day of 2012 has resulted in two officer deaths so far (Ranger Margaret Anderson National Park Service being the other) may God bless both families in this time of tragedy. We do not understand why this happened, but one day in God's presence we will know. I can say God does understand, for he witnessed his son be brutally killed so we could all be free.

Thank you for your service Sergeant.

o the family and friends of Sgt. Abimael Catro-Berrocales, his fellow officers, and most especially to Abimael:

We honor your service to your community as a police officer 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 Abimael was killed in the line of duty. It is obvious he was well-loved by many and well-respected by his peers as reflected in the loving reflections left for him.

May his loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Abimael's family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of distinguished service Abimael gave to his community and the citizens of Puerto Rico, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 1, 2012.

Me uno a las condolencias expresadas por todos los compañeros aqui. Gracias por ser mi compañero del turno 3-11 en el Mustang. Fue una bendición el poder conocerte tanto en el trabajo como a nivel personal. Fuiste un excelente padre, amigo y hermano. Ruego que el Señor te tome en sus brazos y que le brinde la fortaleza que necesita tu esposa e hijos.
