Absolutely tragic. I woke up to this today, and it stopped me in my tracks. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office is an outstanding agency, and it speaks volumes that Deputy Pill worked there. My thoughts are with her family, friends, co-workers, and entire agency. She will forever be remembered as a hero, and I cannot thank her enough not only for protecting the people of Florida but the entire country. Thank you so much for your service.

I am saddened to hear of another fallen officer. I am a Sergeant with Mobile Police Department and we too just lost a brother in blue. I had the honor to be apart of sending the "Honor Flag" to your department. This was an honor (however very sad) to me and my department. My thoughts and prayers go out to all officers within your department and with the families of fallen officer "Hero" Barber Phill.

When the Lord was creating police officers, he was into his sixth day of overtime, an angel appeared and said, “You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one”.
And the Lord said,
“Have you read the spec on this order? A police officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn’t touch, and not wrinkle his uniform.”
“He has to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day.”
“He has to be in top physical condition at all times, running on black coffee and half-eaten meals. And he has to have six pairs of hands.”
The angel shook his head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands…no way.”
“It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord, “it’s the three pairs of eyes an officer has to have.”
“That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel.
The Lord nodded.
“One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before he asks, “What’s in there, sir?” when he already knows and wishes he’d taken that accounting job.”
“Another pair here in the side of his head for his partner’s safety. And another pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, “You’ll be all right ma’am, when he knows it isn’t so.”
“Lord,” said the angel, touching his sleeve, “Rest now, and work on this tomorrow.”
“I can’t,” said the Lord, “I already have a model. This model can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck.”
The angel circled the model of a police officer very slowly, “Can it think??” he asked.
“You bet,” said the Lord. “It can tell you the elements of a hundred crimes. It can recite Miranda warnings in its sleep, detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less time than it takes five learned judges to debate the legality of the stop… and still it keeps its sense of humor.”
“This officer also has phenomenal person control. He can deal with crime scenes painted in hell….coax a confession from a child abuser…comfort a murder victim’s family…and then read in the daily paper how law enforcement isn’t sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects.”
Finally, the angel bent over and ran his finger across the cheek of the police officer.
“There’s a leak,” he pronounced. “I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model.”
“That’s not a leak,” said the lord, “it’s a tear.”
“What’s the tear for?” asked the angel.
“It’s for bottled-up emotions…for fallen comrades…for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag…and mostly for justice.”
“You’re a genius,” said the angel.
The Lord looked somber and said…”I didn’t put it there…”

"The Final Inspection"

The police officer stood and faced her God,
Which must always come to pass.
She hoped her shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as her brass.

"Step forward now, police officer.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The police officer squared her shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.

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 had often trod.
As the police officer waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, police officer,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

The desire to serve is ingrained in one’s heart, it is not learned, it is not stumbled upon, it is a seed planted by God. Thank you for answering the call.

Although your service on earth is done, your sacrifice will never be forgotten. May God keep and Bless your family, friends, and BCSO during this very difficult time.
