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 Topeka Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

This is terrible news. I just found ODMP this morning, and as a civilian, I am both proud and sad to know that such an organization exists. Thank you for your efforts and sacrifice.
