Mike was such a happy man! He was always smiling and positive! It was such a blessing to know him! While it still hurts to know that he is no longer with us, it's almost a peaceful feeling to know that we here in Pearl have such an amazing guardian angel watching over us! THANK YOU, Mike for choosing to serve and protect our community! We think about you and miss you everyday! You will NEVER be forgotten!

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"

I did not know Inv Mike Walter, but that doesn't make any difference because he was my brother. We both chose to wear the badge which makes us family. I was proud to work alongside the fine officers of Pearl PD when I worked at the Jackson Airport in 2007. Rest easy brother, your work on earth is done. Those of us here will carry on. I'm praying for your colleagues, friends, and family. God Bless.
