Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was assisting a local 5k in remembrance of of two local teens killed by a drunk driver 10 years ago. During the race I was approached by a sweet lady who thanked me for my service. I apologize for forgetting her name. She then informed me her niece had been killed in the line of duty. She showed me photos of you and expressed how proud she was of you, but also how dearly she missed you. Your memory lives on through the stories your friends and family share. Thank you for your service and sacrifice Ofc. Harris.

We served together at SPD (I left in '18). I'm a teacher now and regularly teach my class about civic responsibility, the purpose of Law Enforcement, etc...Today, we talked about you and the impact you had on your fellow officers and friends. You live on today in the minds of a whole lot of 8 and 9 year olds. Your picture is up on our classroom LEO Memorial Wall. Thank you for your service.

It’s been over a year since we lost you but the pain feels fresh. The job will never be the same without your dumb jokes and smirks peppered between the chases, fights, and arrests. It was an honor.

It was an honor to have been at your memorial today. The way everyone speaks of you shows what an exemplary person you were both on and off duty.

My wish is that others will follow in your footsteps and live their lives with the courage and dedication you showed on a daily basis.

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.

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.

Officer Harris, You gave your life while not even on duty but simply out of a duty to act. You did what many cops would do, but few civilians. You put the welfare of strangers above yourself. I thank you for your service and your sacrifice breaks my heart.

God Bless and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful, Sister.

Harris had great character, a heart of a lion, and a great sense of humor. It sickens me to know that such an exceptional person has lost her life. My heart goes out to her Husband, Daughters, and family. My wife and I both thought very highly of Harris, enjoyed working with her, and enjoyed our conversations with her. Anyone who knew Harris, knew she was an especially exceptionally rare person indeed!

ANOTHER, unselfish Police Officer taken to early! On her way home, AFTER working her shift, not being appreciated and supported, yet she still stopped to help! May God welcome you in and give you a seat at the table, and may he also help your family, friends, and fellow Officers, carry on during this most difficult time. God Bless you and Thank You for your Service and for caring!

End of Watch Sunday, June 13, 2021.


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.
