I had the pleasure of knowing Andrew since his graduation from the State Police Academy. As First Sergeant in Arlington, I had the pleasure of working with Andrew on many special assignments and of chats alongside the road when I would stop behind Andrew while he was on the side of the road or when he returned the favor for me. Andrew never had a bad word to say to me about the Department. You could easily see he loved his job and was an outstanding young man. The Virginia State Police lost a shining star on October 5, 2012. People like Andrew do not come along every day. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to get to know Andrew and to work alongside such an outstanding young man.

Sir,
Rest in peace.
To Your Family,
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for 20 months. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

To family; friends; the Virginia State Police and all law enforcement officers, families and supporters. What is this unquestioned desire of an officer to serve their fellow man? For little monetary reward; yet great personal reward in knowing they made things better down here, in this sometimes very dark and evil place.
I speak to you; because you understand why they do it.
Why they choose to fight this never ending war.
They do it because it’s the right thing to do and they are driven by an inner desire to make things right and to protect the weak; the sick; the innocent; the young and the old; those who cannot protect themselves. They are the sheep dogs, that protect the sheep from the wolves in the darkness.
God has called you elsewhere to continue the battle; your loved ones to see you again one day.
With all respect; with tears and with prayers for strength
in this most difficult time.

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"
