For Sergeant William T. Bishop:

The duties of the highway patrol officer is fraught with danger, and hardly anything is more deadly than working on interstate highways along side of vehicles passing by at high speed. The average highway patrol officers are, in the course of their assignments, only feet and inches from fast-paced vehicles, many of whose operators have little regard for the officer's safety, others safety - or their own. Caution and care, though employed by the officer, does only little to reduce the chance of being struck by passing motorists (preoccupied with phones, texting, refreshments, smoking and plain inattentiveness) who fail to use preventive measures (signaling, moving over when possible, employing four-way flashers, along with slowing-down) to avoid collisions and accidents. Strict traffic-law enforcement - if anything at all - is the key to reducing such situations for the future.
We regret Sergeant Spaulding's needless, tragic, and excruciatingly horrible death and honor him for his thirty years of keeping the public safe and render him a profound and final salute. He was a dedicated and noble soldier-of-the-law, with unusual and remarkable longevity, who was cheated of a well-earned retirement. May he rest in peace.

As a former LEO in FL and CO., It is hard for me to hear of senseless tragedies like this. You were a light for those you trained, those you worked with, and those who looked up to you as a role model. RIP Sarge. You made a difference to many.

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 its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.

I pass by officers who have pulled over cars on I-75 and other by ways and always either moved over or slowed down. I will remember Master Sargent William T. Bishop as I travel and honor Him that cost him His life. GOD Bless His Family

I am so sorry that, still one more officer is gone. Feelings go out from my heart to Officer Bishop's family. No words can ever help, but know that whether people knew William Bishop personally or didn't know him; there are many whom feel sorrow along with his family and I pray for his family to have the strength to move on with their lives.
