Officer Galinger, you may have been just getting started with your Blue Family, but you were very much a part of us and will be missed. They worked very hard to bring your killer to justice! I am so sorry for your loss not only to the people of your Department and community; but to your son, daughter and your whole family. I am sure you are sorely missed by all. Watch over them from above now and Rest in Peace brave Sir!

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.

The men & women of the Abilene Police Department extend their prayers to the family, friends, and coworkers of Police Officer Nicholas Galinger, following his death. His brief service with his agency cannot possibly be the sum of the service and selflessness he administered over the span of his life. We are grateful for his servant heart and committed principles by which he lived.

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 Chattanooga Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
