Police Officer Scott Hewell,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement nearly two 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 were riding in a patrol car responding to back-up a fellow police officer who had initiated a traffic stop of a shooting suspect on Wednesday, May 28, 2014, in Stockton, California, 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 and your partner were involved in a traffic collision; sacrificing your life on Wednesday, June 11, 2014, 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

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

IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER SCOTT HEWELL

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Scott Hewell:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some eleven police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of Stockton, California. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Police Officer Scott Hewell of the Stockton, California Police Department; who was critically injured in the line-of-duty during a traffic collision while a passenger in a patrol car responding to back-up another police officer who had initiated a felony stop of a shooting suspect on Wednesday, May 28, 2014, in Stockton, California. He succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday, June 11, 2014.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Police Officer Scott Hewell. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Police Officer Scott Hewell and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Stockton, California, help them to faithfully equip their police officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Stockton, California, to remember to pay their police officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Stockton, California, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Scott Hewell go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Amen.

Lord God, hear our prayers.

Now, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.
