Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.
Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgement.
Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.
You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.
And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.

Colonel M. Edmonson is a credit to all Chiefs of Police!
Your very eloquent way of honouring (I just saw the CNN interview) Trooper Vincent and his service to his Country, State and our civilized society was what the average citizen must hear!
His death was not in vain because what would our world be like without officers and other first responders like Trooper Vincent!
I mourn his loss but honour his service!
Thank You Sir!

The Thin Blue Line shall continue to do their duty in your memory, Trooper Vincent. Those who wear the badge honor your sacrifice, courage and professionalism. You will not be forgotten. May you rest in eternal peace.
Heartfelt condolences to your immediate and extended family, fellow Troopers and affiliated law enforcement, friends, and the law abiding people of The State of Louisiana for your loss.
Steadfast appreciation to those who took the high road to assist this Trooper in his time of need by subduing and holding the person responsible for this dispicable act of cowardice. Because of your actions, justice shall be served.
