Reflections for Police Officer Brandon Michael Stalker
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.

Brandon though our paths did not cross many times since you joined our ranks, I do recall your smile. Knowing you didn't suffer, and were surrounded by your brothers who tried desperately to save you gives me some piece. My heart breaks for your family. The significance that you and Tony were in the same class, and that your death was on 1-18, tells all of us that unit 118 (Off. Dia) was there to welcome you home to your heavenly home. Say hello to Keith and Kevin for me. Rest easy now, though your time on the beat was short, your impact will never be forgotten. We will take it from here.

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.
