Officer Sanchez was the third officer killed in the line of duty in the span of three months. Our department has since lost a total of five officers in this time. Five officers taken just like that, like a leaf being swept away in a gust of wind. As a department we are hurting. Our hearts are filled with sorrow. May God bless our department. We don't want to lose anyone else. Like our Chief said today during Officer Sanchez's funeral, God's Roll Call room is filled now, please no more officers are needed there. We pray for strength for all those left behind.

Officer Sanchez,

Rest well in the arms of God.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Roberto was killed.

To the Sanchez family, fellow LAPD officers, and all who call Roberto beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Sanchez gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 3, 2014.

Officer Roberto Sanchez you wore your LAPD badge with honor and distinction. Being inside that black and white is one of the most powerful places to be. You touched people 's lives with every contact you made, be it a citation, arrest, handshake, or sympathetic ear to a victim. You left your mark on a city your swore to protect and to serve. I pray your family finds comfort and healing in our Lord's loving embrace.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.


Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,



Abraham Lincoln
