Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My heart is saddened. Thank you officer for you service and ultimate sacrifice. No greater love has a man that would lay down his life for his brother. I thank your family for their sacrifice as well. May God send peace and comfort to the family as well as justice.

Officer Swasey, you are a epitome of what we do. People needed help, your fellow officers needed help, so you went towards the gunfire and not away from it. Regardless of how people see our profession, you sir with your ultimate sacrifice has shown the world what we are all about. God bless you and your family....and thank you.

Officer Swasey was simply doing what he was sworn to do, protect others while walking towards danger. Not only will he be remembered for that, but shall become a role model for all other new LEO's on what it takes, from a cop, to be a cop.

What a tragedy and so much carnage yet -----
When others flee this hero and his many peers went quickly towards the firefight.
Yes there are the 3% in our profession who sully the badge -----while the other 97% bring great honor to those of us retired or in active service in the Criminal Justice System .Garrett Swasey you are indeed a HERO in the truest sense of the word.
My heart aches for all those families,peers and friends who have to experience and suffer greatly from this carnage. But none more than for my comrades in arms.
Today however I stand tall for the Garett Swasey and his family . Officer Swasey gave his fullest measure so others could live. After all our truest mission is to " protect " those under our watch. And he did

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.
