Good afternoon Chief Rainey,

I wanted to take a moment to express my condolence to you and to your department's members during these tough times for the loss of Det./Sgt. Tom Smith. I read the article on the ODMP today and was touched by the totality of the tragic incident. I know its a tough time for everyone involved including Sgt. Smith's wife, whose a member of the Bart Police Department and for his daughter. My heart goes out to all of the Officers who were present during the incident especially to the Officer involved, whose life will forever be changed by this incident.

As an Officer who has been involved in deadly force shooting incidents, where someone's life was taken, it has an affect on you and those around you, for a long time.

Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.
