Reflections for Police Officer Theodore James Ohlemeier

I have only just learned of TJ's passing and am devastated.
I knew he had deleted his FB account and that's when we lost contact. To find this out 3 years later is heartbreaking. We were great friends for years.
My deepest condolences to his wife, daughters and family.
You will always be missed my dear friend.
Much love from Australia

TJ and I worked in law enforcement together since he started in Derby in the 80’s. In Derby TJ was an officer, MPO, DARE officer and SRO supervisor. I was his supervisor. He was an officer to depend on and a friend. RIP, miss you a lot.

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.
