Our deepest condolences to Officer Padron & his loving family. There is never a "routine" call that Peace Officers respond too. May our loving God watch over his family especially his daughters. Daddy's girls they will always be. To all my brother/sisters in Blue may God continue to watch over you.

Officer Jaime Padron you will forever be named a true hero. As a fellow officer, many don't realize the many sacrifices we take in taking our oath when we enter into this profession and what the oath truly means. My prayers go out the family and his daughters. May God emcamp his healing and watching angels around the family as they mourn. My late grandmother shared this verse with me during a really hard time when my father passed and I want to share it with you:
Psalm 30:5b “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
You may not understand what this means right now but I pray that one day you will. May God keep the family and friends who mourn for our brother in blue.

I worked with Jaime while he was at the San Angelo Police Department. He was a close friend of mine...someone I could always call and ask for advice. Jaime was an extraordinary officer and loved his family. Jaime would never hesitate to help a friend or stranger. He was dedicated and loved his job. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
Rest in Peace my Brother in Arms, we have the watch now.
