Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES OF ALASKA STATE POLICE, SERGEANT PATRICK SCOTT JOHNSON.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Trooper.
We in the Law Enforcement Community are a family.
Though we may wear different uniforms and have different badges, shields, or stars pinned upon our chest.
Our area of enforcement may vary, we consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are:
Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, county roads, state highways, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE, and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will SERVE and PROTECT our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of GOOD over EVIL facing the unknown with COURAGE keeping our trust and faith in GOD. We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
SERGEANT JOHNSON!
You did not die in vain
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in the State of Alaska with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I'm proud to have worn the uniform of a Law Enforcement Officer like you did.
I'm proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I'm proud to have SERVED and PROTECTED my community as you did.
I'm proud to call you my BROTHER!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do.............SERVING
and PROTECTING your community with HONOR and PRIDE making a better and safer place for us all.
FINAL CALL
SERGEANT JOHNSON STATUS.................SERGEANT JOHNSON STATUS................SERGEANT JOHNSON STATUS...................
ATTENTION ALL UNITS.............SERGEANT PATRICK SCOTT JOHNSON I.D. #144 HAVING SERVED THE CITIZENS IN THE STATE OF ALASKA WITH HONOR, PRIDE AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!

Trooper Rich and Sgt Johnson,

I was saddened when I heard two Troopers from one of the most professional agencies in the country were taken too soon. I had the privilege of meeting two AST and they were two of the most professional officers I have ever met. Though I did not know either, I feel the loss of two brothers. The law enforcement family is a family like no other, and when one is taken too soon a country feels it. When I think of the AST, the first thing that comes to mind is pride and integrity. Reading the reflections left, you two were models of that. Your service will never be forgotten, may you both rest in peace. To the families my sincere condolences. We'll take it from here brothers!

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Sergeant Scott Johnson and the extended law enforcement family of the Alaska State Police. 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.

He went to work one morning and did not know
This shift he served would bring such sorrow
This call to duty would be his last
His time on earth is now his past
God set this day as his time to go
Rest in peace Trooper Johnson, now a hero
He gave the ultimate sacrifice
With integrity and pride he paid the price
His family, friends and colleagues will mourn
As an angel in heaven he is now reborn
His golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best.

Thank you for your service Sgt. Johnson, I'm only sorry we did not say it more often as you did an almost thankless job with dedication and passion. Our prayers are with your Family and all your fellow law enforcement personnel around the world who perform their duties day in and day out with out gratitude. God has blessed us with people who will lay down their life for our safety and protection of others. Rest in the LORD, Good and Faithful Servant.
