Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I remember Antwan for his beautiful smile while an Explorer at Orange PD. I was blessed to know him. Rest in peace and I'll see you again.

We as Police Officers risk our lives daily, no one knows when that challenge day will come. I have encountered those days and was nearly run over or killed etc. We honor those that paid the ultimate price, as we strive to learn from our mistakes. It is sad that the standard required training for our certification is less than 25 hours per year....

These are risky situations that are not rehearsed therefore we as First Responders are subject to crucial decisions that are sometimes surprises to the citizen and the Officer.

I was in Buford, Ga visiting family when Officer Toney was shot. I remember feeling so helpless and frustrated and mad over what happened to him. I continue to pray for Officer Toney's family and his fellow Officer's at the Gwinnett County Police Department.

I have been in law enforcement going on 15 years, no matter if your just starting policing or a veteran always expect the un-expected. This is a field you can never get relaxed, if you do you will shorten your life or the ones you protect.

I only got to meet Officer Toney once, at the Gwinnett County Fair. He was very kind and had a bright welcoming smile. I asked I’m about Law Enforcement, The Gwinnett County Police Department and I asked him for advice and tips that would help me when I become an officer one day. He told me about his past as a Police Explorer/Cadet and how much he loved being a Police Officer. We talked about California and the Military and how he had family in the military.I didn’t remember his name till I saw his picture on the news. I knew that smile, and that comforting look. I went to his vigil at Gwinnett Church and prayed for him and his family. Officer Toney is the type of Officer and person I want to strive to be. He was friendly, kind, strong, caring and he loved his community and people around him. He inspires me to be the best I can be, and I can only hope he’s looking down right now knowing he had an effect on my life and the lives of others. I wear a blue line band on my wrist every day in memory of him and as a reminder of him and others who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Rest In Peace Officer Toney.

It has been a privilege and honor to serve with this man. He was a brother, a friend, a family member, and a hero. You would never see Antwan without a smile on his face. He was a man of love, character, integrity, and passion.
Rest in paradise brother. You earned it. “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

My heart goes out to this officer's friends, family, and department. I hope that everyone can find comfort in Revelation 21:4 "And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". One day, we'll be able to welcome back our loved ones that we've lost to death and never have to lose them again. Until then, my sincerest condolences goes out to everyone that knew this brave officer.

When I heard this story it broke my heart. He was never given a chance. To be shot at just checking out a suspicious vehicle, before even reaching the car. Police put their lives on the line every day, for not enough pay, so it’s the love of the job and helping people. God bless all of you and the job you do.
