Reflections for Patrolman Adrian Arellano
As you departed the bonds of this earth and touched the face of God, know that the selfless service, commitment and dedication you had for your family, community, fellow officers and a grateful nation will never be forgotten.
May God comfort in this time of sorrow your family, your fellow officers and all those whose lives you have touched.
You have served your time in hell, now rest comfortably in the arms of God - We'll take it from here.

I will miss you dearly, I cherished the laughter and tears we shared.
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

To his family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have been a motor officer for nine years now and airlifted once. This saddens me and reminds me of our dangerous profession. Be proud of this man. He worked a noble, and honorable craft. To be a motor officer is very difficult. God bless you for your sacrifice of a lost beloved Officer. He will not be forgotten.

An Officer’s Heart
By Kathy Farace
I chose to work in law enforcement;
It’s my duty and my call.
I will serve no matter what the risk
In a crisis great or small.
Protecting life and liberties
From jeopardy and from theat.
No matter what the time or cause,
I’ll respond with no regret
The thin blue line of courage is a symbol that reflects,
The depth of strength to conquer,
Fear our commitment and respect.
Duty calls, the race begins, days end is unbeknown.
Though focused on the work at hand
My heart is back at home.
As an officer I know I’m not in this alone.
You stand with me by my side and pray my safety home.
I give you this special gift a heart for us to share;
Holding precious words of love far days so hard to bear.
Every moment of every day, in my heart you’ll always be.
We’ll never be far apart……You have “A Piece of Me”
