Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On behalf of the Ohio Attorney Generals Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Police Officer Jerry Steven Hemphill and the extended law enforcement family of the Lanier Technical College Police Department, Georgia.


End of Watch Wednesday, December 16, 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

To Ofc. Hemphill, and his family as well as her law enforcement brothers and sisters my prayers are with you and your extended family thru this absolute nightmare of a pandemic.
We all know that when putting on this uniform that there's a chance you may not come home but, no one thought this would be how we could potentially give our life while doing something that we loved doing.
Again, my love and prayers are with you and the families. Rest assured and know that you service and love of your community will never go forgotten.
