"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Officer Lee - While attending Below 100 training, on 03/06, I remember thinking how LAPD had been blessed not to lose anyone since 2008. The very next morning you were taken from your family and friends. I am so sorry. Perhaps our paths did cross while I was still there, but for sure I know people who knew you. You sound like a good cop and a great human being. Thank you for your service to the state of California and the people of Los Angeles. May God grant you eternal rest and may his perpetual light shine upon you. My prayers are L.A. bound for your family and your partner's full recovery.

I first met Officer Lee in 2002. We spoke of family, careers, leading by example, and helping youth and neighborhoods realize possibilities. His professionalism stood the test of time as those qualities continued throughout his life. May he rest in peace, but may we always remember Officer Lee.

RIP Officer Lee. You will be remembered for your sacrifice and honor that you gave to the city of Los Angeles and its people. As the son of a fellow LAPD officer I understand the effect your death has taken on your fellow brothers in blue and around the nation. Today I thought about the job that police officers sign up for and how willingly they carry out the job most civilians wouldn't dare doing and what you really give up to be a hero in your families eyes and protect those who can't protect themselves. You left Friday morning not knowing what the day had in store like all officers, but you gave your life on duty walking the thin blue line. Though this was only an accident, I've wanted to thank you for you sacrifice that you made. My deepest condolences to your family, partner, and fellow Brothers and Sisters in Uniform. Once again, Thank You!

Tragic incidents like this remind us all that driving a patrol car is one of our most dangerous activities we do. Even knowing such risks, every single sworn officer in our great nation has the courage, dedication and loyalty to habitually put their lives in harms way to respond to others in need of assistance. It never gets any easier when we learn that we've lost another brother in blue. Godspeed and my deepest condolences to Officer Lee's family, friends and extended family of the LAPD.
