Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

I fell upon Master Trooper Bailey by completing a research project through my Criminal Justice class. This was a tragic incident that no officer or family should go through. I thank Master Trooper Bailey for his service and ultimate sacrifice and my thoughts are out to the wife and children he left behind.

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.

Ma’am I have no rank but a student at a college. We are directed to see the website and give our input of the web. As i was looking at the astonishing heartbreaking list of our officers, I came to this photo of a friendly man in uniform. It put me to tears. I am so sorry for the lost of your husband. I am so sorry for the lost of the children’s father. Many condolences
