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.

I never had the chance to work with Sidnee on the street, but had many pleasant interactions with her when she worked in the jail.

She was always kind, happy, professional, and had a contagious smile that could light up a room.

Rest In Peace dear sister, you are missed...

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.

Sweet Deputy Carter. I had the pleasure of knowing you through my time at the jail passing meds. U were always trying to recruit me to be a deputy at the jail. U said I'd be a good 1️⃣ cuz I was so mean. I was very sad to hear of your passing. I wish I could have gone to your service. Kansas lost a shining light the night you died.

In valor there is hope

In honored memory
Deputy Sidnee Carter
End of Watch 10/7/22

Sometimes it hard to understand
The challenge that we must face
When we choose to take a stand.
At this sad time and in this dark place

We search the recesses of our mind
Hoping to make sense of this tragedy
Elusive meaning we hope to find
Leaving doubt and uncertainty

Our faith all too often has been shaken
Another who wore the Silver and the Blue
From us too soon has sadly been taken
It’s hard to know what we should do

When our sorrows like a river flow
And it seems too much to cope
This solemn truth it is we know
In valor there is hope,

In valor there is hope
