Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I knew Dwight when we were both kids working at a Springfield Kentucky Fried Chicken store. I haven't seen or heard from him in decades, but was really saddened to hear of his death. I thought the world of Dwight and always wished him well and wondered whatever became of him. It doesn't surprise me to find out that he found his calling serving society. God Bless You, my old friend. -- Dan Claxton

End of Watch Sunday, November 22, 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
