Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Randall L. Benoit
I am sorry to read about The loss of another Calcasieu Parish deputy. I came to the ODMP site to leave a reflection on the anniversay of my brother's end of watch, also of CPSO. I am sorry that all friends, coworkers, and family have experienced the tragedy of the loss of Deputy Benoit.

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"

This is where I grew up. I have served in this Parish as a law enforcement officer. I have experienced the brotherhood and the closeness of the LE community there. Our hearts are broken but the memory of this fine Officer will bind us together today and always.
Rest...you have earned our eternal gratitude.
