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 four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

My heart goes out to MPD and the Colley family, I was part of the family through marriage for almost 40 yrs, David was a fine young man raised by a close knit family. I was an Air Force security police officer for 23 years, Chief at Gunter and Operations officer at Maxwell. We always had an outstanding relationship with MPD, I go back to Chief Swindle days. Losing fine young men is extremely difficult to a police force, we lost a young man at Maxwell in the line of duty. David will always have a special place in the heart of MPD and will be honored in a way the family will be proud, we always take care of our own, it's a proud brotherhood of men.
