Undersheriff McCloud,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of New York and for our Country as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

One of the many amazing men and women who gave so selflessly and heroically that day and the many days that followed. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice are always remembered by your law enforcement brethren.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

When I joined the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy Steve McLoud was an Investigator. Steve was one of my mentor’s who was always willing to help a young Deputy. When he became our Undersheriff I was promoted to Detective. Today I am the Undersheriff. I would not be there if not for men like Steve who taught and inspired me. Thank you Steve, for your service, your kindness and the sacrifices you made for our County and our Nation. Rest In Peace.

On September 11, 2001, many lives were taken by cowardly swine with a meaningless grudge; thousands of innocent civilians, Firefighters and Law Enforcement personnel from numerous agencies. The animals who did this must have known in their evil pathetic hearts that the dying would not end on that day or even in the weeks that followed. It’s been over a decade and still we lose our Brothers and Sisters from the fallout.
God Bless all have gone before and those who follow including Undersheriff Stephen B. McLoud, you will never be forgotten. May your eternal rest be ever peaceful, Brother.

We can never give back enough to those we've lost. And to their families for whom they survived. In the protection and service of total strangers.

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.
