Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To Robert's family, fellow officers, and all who call Robert 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 Constable White gave to his community and the citizens of Texas , and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on November 1, 2014.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO! May God
Give the family and friends the strength and faith to deal with this tragic loss. Words can not express my sorrow!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I prayed last night that when I visited the site this morning all officers would be safe and there would be no listed fallen officers, sadly this was not the case but I will continue to pray and believe in God's purpose, his loving kindness and his promise to mankind. We search our hearts for an answer to these senseless killings of our fellow officers and it is in the word of God where we find that answer and comfort. Continue fellow officers to pray and uphold one another in God's grace. To Officer White, God will grant you eternal peace for your sacrifice of giving. One final salute.

It seems like it was only yesterday when I became your first Chief Deputy Constable. I was so upset when I received the call from my brother telling me about the details of this tragedy. All I could do was reflect on the moments that we shared while working together and you will be missed. My condolences to your family and the officers that fall under your purview within the El Paso County Constable's Office Precinct 1.
