the previous reflection said it so well. I am the widow of a fallen officer and I feel the pain you are feeling and the shock of the last few hours. Your family member, friend,co worker and brother in blue will never be forgotten but more than that we must have justice for his disgusting murder.

There are many things about working for the bureau or anywhere for that matter, that could be improved. One of the best things about working for the BOP is the Bureau Family. People thousands of miles away who you have never met, legitimately care about your well being. Thank you for your service. We are all feeling the loss.

A corrections 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 Federal Bureau of Prisons. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother. Vaya con dios hermano.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Lieutenant Osvaldo Albarati and the extended law enforcement family of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Being in law enforcement anywhere is dangerous. In Puerto Rico, it is 'very dangerous'. God bless Lieutenant

RIP, brother. Your loss will not be forgotten. I pray that another LEO was not involved. It is bad enough that we face the dangers from the criminals, we should not have to worry about fellow officers being involved.
