Officer Woods, I am so sorry to hear about the tragic end to your life. May GOD bless you and your family (Blood & Blue) abundantly, during this time of loss and mourning. Thank you for making the Ultimate Sacrifice, for such an unthinkable act, that results in way to many officers LODD’s. Your service to the citizens of Ohio will be greatly missed but not forgotten. Rest In Peace Brother!!!

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
