I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.

Thank you so much for allowing my family and I to sleep at night knowing officers like you are just outside looking after us. You paid the ultimate price, a risk you knew was very real when you took your oath. Knowing this you still hit the street's day after day for people you didn't even know and did so with honor and dignity, fair, firm, and consistent but yet with heart and compassionately. You will be missed and your sacrifice as well as your memory will never be forgotten. You will live through your family, fellow officers, people like me and very special people like Phyllis Lasater Loya, mother of fallen Pittsburgh, Ca police officer Larry Lasater. I wish I could have thanked you in person but If I am fortunate enough in time I will. To your family, I am so sorry. May god be with you always and thank you for sharing him with us. He is a true hero and an example for us all. He left his mark on this world and his passion and love for his chosen profession will continue to flourish for years to come in so many ways. I can only hope if I work hard enough and can reach a very high bar officers like Chris and Larry set, that I may one day have people say the same thing. Then I can say my life was productive and full! Rest in peace my friend and God bless you and your beautiful family.

Today …
Today we lost a special man
One that’s protected all the land
He protected us both through night and day
Here at home and far away.
A Brother in Arms a man of the Shield
We lost him today when out in the field
Protecting the Public, making a difference in the life
Of a Father, a Mother, a Brother, a Wife.
While answering the call of one in need
He was taken from us this true man in deed;
A Father, a husband, a brother a friend,
He was called home to Jesus; his time here’s at an end.
Although he is missed, your tears they will flow just know in your heart, it was his time to go.
May God bless you, protect you and show you the way
To hold onto your faith and remember someday;
You will all be together your Angel will guide
you through life’s tribulations and stay by your side.
This fighter for justice this man of the street
One of Prince Williams Finest is walking his beat.
He will always protect you and show you the way, he will love you be beside you and guide you until that meeting day.

Officer Yung

As the daughter of a retired Marine and the wife of a PWC Detective your tragic death has had a profound impact not only on me but on countless people. I never met you personally but I know you were a great person who left a lasting impression on all those who knew you. My heart breaks for your family and I cannot begin to imagine how they must feel. I’m sure they will take solace in knowing the legacy you have left behind. I rode in the funeral procession and was brought to tears by the outpouring of support from the community. The streets were lined with citizens, paying their respects to you. Your brothers and sisters in Blue will forever hold you in the highest regard. We will all continue to celebrate your memory and you can rest assured your family will be taken care of. The streets of heaven are most certainly safer with you on patrol. God Bless.

Chris,

Thank you for your dedicated service to this department and community. We lost one of the best PWC Officers on Decemeber 31st. It's still hard to be believe you are gone. I feel blessed to have known you and work beside you. The good Lord certainly has an ANGEL in his hands. Ride on Motor 4887, we know you are the little angel on our shoulders as we move forward. Rest In Peace.

Chris you taught me alot about the brotherhood of law enforcement. Even though we worked for separate departments you would always lend and a hand and make sure all of us were safe. Please keep watch over all of us. God bless! Motor 4887 gone never forgotten!

This poem was written after getting my wife’s 19 years perspective of being a police officer’s wife.


“He Does it For You!”

He doesn’t do it for the money,
Cause surely there’s something better to do,
He says, “Someone has to do it!”
So really, he does it for you.

His eight to twelve hours is from call to call,
From a murder to a cat in a tree,
You say he’s never around when you really need him,
But without him, where would you be?

You curse him when you get a speeding ticket,
And scream there’s something better he could do,
But have you looked at how many deaths there are on the highways,
So really, he’s doing it for you.

He’s always seeing so much bad in the world,
He really doesn’t know what to do,
He wonders sometimes if it’s even worth it,
But he knows he has to do it for you.

Each day when he leaves for work,
And I always kiss him good-bye,
I don’t know if I’ll see him again,
Cause the day might be the day he dies.

So many times he comes home from work,
And I see a small tear in his eyes,
I ask him what is the problem dear?
And he says another innocent person has died.

You always say a cop isn’t human,
Cause at a tragedy he’s cool from the start,
But you don’t have to live with him,
And watch his mind and heart break apart.

I remember one hot June night at work,
His supervisor came, “Your husband’s been hurt!”, he said,
It was such a long ride to the hospital,
They wouldn’t say if he was alive or dead.

Crime is always on the increase,
The streets a battle ground,
And when one in “Blue” is slain,
At the funeral-taps will sound.

He’ll lay in a flagged draped coffin,
An honor for those who die for this land,
Just like the Army, Navy and Marines,
He died by the enemies hands.

Most ordinary citizens won’t be at the funeral,
But you’ll see plenty of people wearing blue,
You’ll see dozens of marked patrol cars,
Honoring the one who died for you.
