For Deputy Brandon Nielsen & Deputy Jeremy Triche:

Our duty as law officers is fraught with danger and nobody can truly predict when an attack will occur. Sudden and violent resistance whereby law-officers die will continue to plague us, but our response will be to continue to pursue vermin wherever they hide and to bring justice for all. We regret that Brandon and Jeremy would be the next officers to die in the perilous process.

We pray for their families, friends, co-workers and all who care about them. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.

We are proud to render Deputy Brandon Nielsen and Deputy Jeremy Triche, courageous soldiers-of-the-law, a final salute.

Cpl. Ralph D. Fiorenza (Ret.)

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sheriff Jeremy Tiche. RIP

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his 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 policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.
