Today, I will not answer the radio call that you boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murder or a car theft. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked in the car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell into swimming pool. No, today I will not do that. Why? Because Today I was killed be a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway. Today I was was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they has taillight out. Today I was killed in traffic accident rushing to help a citizen. Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a know drug dealer. Today I was killed be a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.

A chaplain and a officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or mother or father I won’t be coming home today. The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast but most people won’t know why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am laid to rest my name will be put on a plaque , on a wall , in a building, in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will morn.

There will be no cries for justices. There will be no riots in the streets. There will be no officers marching , screaming “no justice, no peace.” No citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be smashed, no cars burned , no stones thrown,no names called. Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.
I was a police officer

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.

Lorne was extremely dedicated and always made the safety of the deputies the priority when I worked with him at Lennox. Knowing that he was on the other end of the radio, reassured the field deps that help was en route.

To Lorne's Family, friends and partners - We share your loss. Be assured that he was a hero in L.A. as well as in Dallas!

Miss seeing you come in to the jail damn never every day. I know we spoke often but I'm sorry I never got a chance to truly know you. Like with Z, I wait for you to come into jail like none of this ever happened, like it was all a dream.

Lieutenant Michael Magiera
Dallas Police Department

November 7, 2016

Dear Lorne:

So I have to ask, where is all the anger and protests for your life being taken? Or for your family left to deal with shattered dreams and heartache? Maybe I missed it. But what I didn’t miss, is the fact that you made the ultimate sacrifice to stop an active shooter, vermin hell bent on killing innocent people, fulfilling our sacred oath, “To Protect and Serve”.
The dust settles, the news fades away…but the pain lingers for your family, the Dallas Police Department, and a nation of fellow officers who know too well the sick feeling when one of us goes down. Yet, day after day, we strap on a gun, pin on the badge, kiss our family so long, never knowing if this is actually “goodbye”, and live on the streets with vermin such as this. We drive by residential neighborhoods where we see families enjoying dinner together, safe and warm, enjoying the American way of life. A life that we swore to protect at all costs, everyone’s life because all life matters…even ours.
This has been a horrid year for law enforcement officers dying in the line of duty. The mayhem and carnage seems to know no end, as does the criticism by a select few, very few, and of course, the media. The same media that has yet to cover a story of a fallen officer’s family life in coping with the loss.
Thank you for your service, your dedication to duty and professionalism. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ... Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ...John, 14:1-3
Rest in peace my brother ,we have the watch.

In Loving Memory
Restless & Alone
A weary Soul has traveled Home
What am I to do
In a world without You

I don't want to believe
I turned around & you're gone
All the Sweet Memories
Of Loving You for so Long

Sometimes it's hard
Most times I Cry
But God Holds this Heart of mine
He feels the Pain inside

Broken & Undone
You were the One we counted on
You taught us how to say I Love You
Then You showed Us how to Pray

I don't want to believe
Lord No ...
I turned around & your gone
All the Sweet Memories
Of Loving You for so long

Sometimes it's Hard
Most times I Cry
But God Holds this Heart of Mine
He Heals the Pain I Hide ...

And He said, "Come unto me
All you who are heavy laden
And I will give you rest
For My yoke is easy
And My burden is light. "

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Senior Corporal Lorne Bradley Ahrens and the extended law enforcement family of the Dallas Police Department, Texas.

End of Watch: Thursday, July 7, 2016

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
