Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My very sincere sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Officer Smith and his brothers and sisters with the Georgia Southwestern State University Department of Public Safety. Such a horrible thing to see two young heroes senselessly murdered for doing nothing more than trying to protect someone else. Rest in Peace brothers.

This has been a very sad couple of days for all of us. These two young men left their homes that morning (like most of us) to serve their community not knowing they wouldn't be returning at the end of their shift. As a mother, a law enforcement sister, and a person, I feel the pain as if it had been my own child, l.e. brother, etc. God help us all to be able to go home at the end of our shifts because there are so many people that just don't care anymore and have no self respect as well as respect for others. Our goal each day is to serve and protect, not to have our lives taken away or to take someone's life. Again, that's the goal and the plan but God always has His plan and though it may not seem fair sometimes, we can't argue with what He thinks it's best. His timing is something we can't question but it sure does hurt when things like this happen. Thank you Ofc Smarr and Ofc Smith for your service God bless you both.

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.
