I am a part of the Grundy County Vocational Center Criminal Justice class. As a project, we were assigned to look up fallen police officers and do research on incidents. What happened to Scot Fitzgerald is a shame and travesty. I never got a chance to meet him but from what I´ve read he was a stand-up police officer who worked in many ways to create a safe and caring community. We lost a true American hero.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Scot, it has been a little more than a year. You are badly missed by all of us here at SJPD and by the communities you served. Our memories of you will always help us set our expectations higher and putting those expectations to work in our lives makes us better people. Through that, you continue to live among us.

I had retired from the Morgan County Il Sheriff's Office before I had an opportunity to meet or work with Scot. Having lost a fellow deputy I know how much pain is felt then and years later. In time you get through it, but never over it. To quote Joseph Wambaugh "semper cop"

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Scot was killed.

To the Fitzgerald family, fellow officers, and all who call Scot beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Fitzgerald gave to his community and the citizens of Illinois, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 4, 2016.
