A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Sheffield Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

To honor Sergeant Risner, POINT 27 sent 27 Thin Blue Line Dog Tag Necklaces, engraved with “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they will be called children of God” Matthew 5:9, to the Sheffield Police Department in Sheffield, Alabama for Nick’s partner and fellow officers. POINT 27 sent a Folded Flag Necklace engraved with “Greater Love has no one than this; than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend” John 15:13 for Sergeant Nick Risner’s family.
Also sent to the Risner Family from Shields of Strength was a US Army Dog Tag to honor Nick’s career with United States Army.

Heavenly Father, we pray for the families of all Law Enforcement Officers who have been killed in the Line-of-Duty and we thank You for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and comrades so that they might find healing. O Lord, please help the law enforcement agencies support the families of their fallen. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that the law enforcement agencies and communities in which they served and lived might be stronger because of their lives and sacrificial deaths. In Christ Jesus, we pray. Amen.
