TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF MARLIN POLICE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF OF POLICE DARRELL L. ALLEN.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and Chief of Police.
We in the law enforcement community are a family, although our uniforms may be a different style and vary in color, a badge, shield or star may be pinned upon our chest.
Our areas of enforcement may vary but our goals are the same, to serve and protect our communities. We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are: Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Police Officers, College Campus Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, the thin blue line of protectors, brothers and sisters bonded together by Honor, Service and Pride.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will serve and protect our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession Law Enforcement, for we willingly walk the line of Good over Evil facing the unknown with courage keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
CHIEF ALLEN
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in the City of Marlin in the State of Texas with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I'm proud to have worn the uniform of a law enforcement officer like you did.
I'm proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I'm proud to have served and protected my community as you did.
I'm proud to call you my Brother!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do..........Serving
and Protecting your community with Honor and Pride making a better and safer place for us all.
FINAL CALL
Chief Allen status.................Chief Allen status.................
Chief Allen status..................Attention all Units...............
Marlin Police Department, Chief of Police Darrell L. Allen having served the citizens in the City of Marlin in the State of Texas with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now
10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

To make a simple disturbing the peace charge into a murder charge shows the true character of a worm...MEANINGLESS.

Chief Allen, I admire you and I don't even know you. You tried to do the right thing in what should have been a minor situation and did so bravely. I also admire and respect and am grateful to the Officer who took the sludge who murdered Chief Allen, into custody. You too, are truly without question, a hero. Even after seeing your boss shot down, you did your duty and potentially saved many more lives, you deserve applause as well.

So long as your family and friends keep you forever in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be far from your fellows Brothers and Sisters.

God Bless you and may your eternal peace always be restful.
