Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A true hero both to his country and the community he served.
This shows that as law enforcement officers, the dangers never end, even after retirement.

Rest In Peace Sir.

Wow... What can I say besides what a dirtbag that obviously holds a grudge. If KY has a death penalty I hope this guy goes to the front of the line. RIP Chief and my condolences to family, friends and members of the Tompkinsville Police Department.
