Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

By request from my friend for my friend:

Erik the Great

Sometimes someone comes along
Is everyone’s “missing piece”
Has a way of tying the lines together
Has a way of making rights from wrongs

4 years ago my friend passed from here
Scooped up in heavens arms
Leaving us all dismayed and sad
This was something we never imagined having to fear

This man was an angel straight from above
Walking among us with a mischievous grin
He balanced us all with steady repose
His heart was just a ball of love

Erik, I know you’re out there in the sky
Floating in the cosmic smiles
The world is not the same without you
You were the wings that often made us fly

Now Minddie, dear sweet love of yours
Carries such a torch for you
Lighting the way as best as she can
Your heart was some ours, all hers

I cannot smoke a sweet cigar
Without wishing you were here
To talk and laugh and laugh again
Belly to the bar

Only love my solemn friend
It’s all we truly shared
I miss the special moments
But you know that I still care

Now we stand alone again as we so often do
Wishing for our sweet dear friend
To speak and talk and love again
Us, We, Me and You...

On behalf of the Ohio Attorney Generals Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Lieutenant Erik L. Lloyd and the extended law enforcement family of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Nevada.


End of Watch Wednesday, July 29, 2020.


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.

By Jon F. Hooper

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.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
