Being a police officer or detective is a dangerous business. We are grieved by the loss of Brian Simonsen, and we are also dismayed that his loss was from friendly fire. May his family remember his for his brave service, and be able to forgive and embrace the officer who accidentally took his life in the confusion of the moment.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the New York City Police Department. Thoughts and support for all the officers involved. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

End of Watch Tuesday, February 12, 2019.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

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.
