Reflections for Sergeant Lance Allen "Lou" McLean
May God bless you and your family. I pray for them today that God may comfort them and protect them forever.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Sergeant Lance McLean and the extended law enforcement family of the Hood County, Texas Sheriff's Office. 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.

Why did this man have to die? Why was the suspect out on bond? It saddens me that a good man is killed because of a judge allowed bond to be posted. This is our system though, and sworn officers will support it. Sgt. thank you for your service...god bless you.

I just wanted to say that Sgt. Lance McLean was a wonderful officer who helped me with my son a few years back when he ran away for several days. He was caring, compassionate and genuinely concerned for his where abouts. He kept in touch with me continually checking on my son until he was found. I was comforted knowing he was actively looking for him till he was found safely. He was truly a fine officer and one of Granbury's finest! You will be missed Lance and my thoughts and prayers go out to your family. May God be with them in their time of need! There is a special place in Heaven for a servant like You!
