This is a sad day for the local and world law enforcement community. It is a sad thing to lose a fellow brother, but even worse when it is to a senseless act of evil. We will always remember this deputy and our thoughts and prayers go to the family, friends and to the Washington County Sheriffs Office. As a former deputy of the same Sheriffs department my heart is broken. I want you all to know that I am always going to keep you in my prayers. I will always be available with an open ear. Please stay safe. God bless all.

Our Greatest Fear

Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again, I hold back a tear.
They patrol in the state, city, county and town,
in uniforms colored white, green, blue and brown.
The shape of their badges may vary,
but it’s a symbol that they all, proudly carry.
They leave for work with a kiss goodbye,
but some don’t come home, no matter how hard they try.
To uphold the law is the job that they pick,
with such high aspirations, why must some die so quick?
They leave behind loved ones, family and friends,
after their lives have met tragic ends.
Some die in crashes, others hearts not too stout,
to many have been lost when gunshots ring out.
Our Heavenly Father has called them home,
no more these dark streets do they roam.
Through trial and error they have given their best,
please Lord, now grant them eternal rest.
Yet once again the Thin Blue Line is diminished,
an officer’s final tour of duty is finished.
"Officer down", it’s our greatest fear,
and once again I hold back a tear.
(By Master Trooper Dave “Stumpy” Miller )

I had the great opportunity of speaking to Deputy Parsons' academy class at Mineral Area Law Enforcement Academy. This young man took a leap of faith as all Law Enforcement officers do, knowing that the job has many risks. I would like to commend Deputy Parsons on his bravery, and thank him for his service. My heart is with his family, both immediate and his brothers and sisters at the Washington Co. SD. God Bless you Chris.
