I have never forgotten a poem that I heard years ago at the funeral of another young officer.
He had been killed while driving his radio car to assist another officer in following a stolen car. I am unsure what the title is or who the author is and so I am unable to give credit to the author but it is still sad, important, and meaningful:
The silence, now, is deafening
where once his laughter fell.
The beat is empty of the one
who knew its streets so well.
The squad room has a vacancy
no one else can occupy.
And so we stand, salute and grieve
again we say 'good-bye'.
