TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF CORRECTIONAL OFFICER TIMOTHY BETTS.

My heart is filled with great sadness at the lost of your loved one and fellow Officer.
We in the law enforcement community are a family.
Whether you pin a Badge, or Shield or Star upon your chest.
Whether you work in a small town or a large city.
Whether you work in Detention Facilities or out on Patrol.
Whether active duty or retired, we are family, a law enforcement family, a brotherhood, a band of brothers having walked the line of good over evil knowing that at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community.
For Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.

I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do......serving your community making a better and safer place for us all.

FINAL CALL
OFFICER BETTS STATUS..........OFFICER BETTS STATUS..........OFFICER BETTS STATUS..........
ATTENTION ALL UNITS..........INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS CORRECTIONAL OFFICER TIMOTHY BETTS HAVING SERVED THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
Rest in Peace my Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!

Praying that you'll sense God’s presence
In this time of grief
And feel God’s love surrounding you
And know His inner peace
For God cares so much for you
And wipes each tear you cry
You never need to feel alone
For He’ll never leave your side
