Today, we mourn the loss of Police Officer Charles Herring, a hero who devoted his life to serving and protecting the community. His selflessness, bravery, and unwavering commitment to justice will always be remembered and honored.

Charles was not just an ordinary police officer, but a symbol of hope, justice, and integrity. He had a heart of gold and a passion for helping others. Whether responding to an emergency call or lending a helping hand to a fellow citizen in need, Charles always went above and beyond the call of duty.

His dedication to the community was evident in the countless lives he touched and the countless moments of kindness he brought to those in need. He put his own life on the line every day to ensure the safety and well-being of others. Charles truly embodied the spirit of a hero and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of police officers.

The void left by Charles's passing will never be filled. But his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the communities he served. Charles's sacrifice will never be forgotten and his legacy will always be honored.

Rest in peace, Charles. We are grateful for your service and will never forget the sacrifices you made to make our world a safer place.

I was just under 3 weeks from retirement and happened upon a violent domestic in the front yard of a house on the east side of Pines. The woman was pretty beat up and her husband ran to his front porch when I approached. I immediately called for back up and due to the city being very busy no one responded on the radio as available. I started to get worried as the suspect was extremely agitated and slightly bigger than me.
All of a sudden out of nowhere Charlie pulls all the way into the front yard, gets out of his unmarked DUI car and said “you sounded like you needed help Sarge”. We then proceeded to wrestle the guy into handcuffs for what seemed like forever.
Charlie heard it in my voice dropped everything and came running to help, because that’s who he was.
That was the last time I ever had to use my handcuffs, and that was the last time I saw Charlie. I’m sure I thanked him that day but in all the confusion if I didn’t
Thank you brother.
