Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Rest in peace.

Officer German may you rest in peace, to his fellow officers in blue, may you know that he will be your guardian angel every day forward always taking watch over you. God bless your family, friends and fellow officers at this time of loss.

"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."

Today is a sad day for the family of Officer German. As a fellow Law Enforcement Officer my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and fellow sisters and brothers.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Police Officer Robert German and the extended law enforcement family of the Windermere, Florida Police Department.. 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.

Cowardly individuals took your life and for reasons we may never know or understand. You put your life on the line for the protection of others and for that, you are a hero.

Also, the officers who worked and risked themselves to try and save you are heroes. I thank God they made it safely and I curse those who murdered you for the end result.

Though you are physically gone, so long as those who love you and know you best keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be far from them.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
