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.

Condolences to Fallen Officers
Rest well in the arms of the Lord.
To Your Family,
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 three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

May you rest in peace brother. God has chosen you as one of the best . May we look back at all the happy times you have shared with everyone and that happiness you brought to your family and community.
You have made the ultimate sacrifice for what you love to do. Patrol the streets of heaven with pride. I will not say goodbye, because goodbye is forever. Instead I will see you again.
Thank you for your bravery and courage. You will never be forgotten. You are clear for 10-7 (End of Watch).

What vile dirt this suspect is. If he wanted to die, he should have done it alone somewhere without harming anyone else.
Officer Martin, you served your citizens and protected them. You are a hero.
God Bless and may you Eternally Rest in Peace, Brother. Though you have been taken physically from those who know and love you best, so long as they keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone.
