Although I never had the privilege of meeting Paul I have the honor of calling him my brother. "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm". Whether in a back alley of an urban city, or as in this case, a back road of rural farmlands, police officers choose to stand ready to protect others, and some pay the ultimate sacrifice. Paul CHOSE to enlist in the US Army to serve and he CHOSE to enlist with the Michigan State Police to serve......These are the actions of a Hero.
On behalf of the Dearborn Heights Police Department I would offer our deepest support for Paul's family, friends, and fellow Troopers. They say that a person is never truly gone as long as they are remembered......Every time you see a blue goose pass by Paul will be there
God bless & God speed TPR Butterfield
