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.

Patrolman Stephen Arkell,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some twelve years ago you became blessed:

For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV

When you responded to that Domestic Complaint in your community on Monday, May 12, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV

As a result, you were shot and killed upon entering the residence for which you were dispatched; sacrificing your life so that others might live and be protected:

And the Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV

I, along with your family, friends and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:

And the Lord said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV

Rest in Peace fellow Brother of the Granite State.

Now go! Rise up! And do battle against Satan and his demons as an angel for the Lord!

In God's merciful love,

Pastor Steven R. Closs
Retired Captain of Police, Nashua NH Police Department

TO THE FAMILY,FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES OF BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT, PATROLMAN STEPHEN ARKELL.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Officer.
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.
OFFICER ARKELL!
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens of Brentwood in the State of New Hampshire 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 SERVE 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
OFFICER ARKELL STATUS........OFFICER ARKELL STATUS........
OFFICER ARKELL STATUS.........ATTENTION ALL UNITS...........
BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT, PATROLMAN STEPHEN ARKELL I.D.# 87 HAVING SERVICED THE CITIZENS OF BRENTWOOD IN THE STATE OF HAMPSHIRE WITH HONOR, PRIDE AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
