Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

For Officer Douglas Barney:

Any time that a law-officer is shot and/or killed by surprise the immediate revelation is that the shooter and/or killer is a coward. In the present day, when law-officers are condemned for being too quick to protect themselves, this case provides yet another testament to just how dangerous law-enforcement can be...both presently and forever in the past. We regret that Doug would have to become yet another situation strongly supporting the notion that law-officers everywhere need to act to ensure they reach the end of their tour-of-duty alive and well.
We pray for Doug's family, co-workers, friends and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another at this sad time.
We are proud to render Officer Douglas Barney, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.

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.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT OF GREATER SALT LAKE, POLICE OFFICER DOUGLAS BARNEY.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Police Officer.
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 and the sacrifice of their families.
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.
OFFICER BARNEY
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in Salt Lake City in the State of Utah 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.
FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT,"LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW".
FINAL CALL
Officer Barney status...........Officer Barney status..............
Officer Barney status...........Attention all units...................
Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake, Police Officer Douglas Barney having served the citizens in Salt Lake City in the State of Utah with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
