Officer Preston, our world is full of evil people, and yet, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your loved ones are experiencing.

Dear Sister,
You are a hero and I can see how proud your Mom is of you. You fought with fierce determination, and while I didn't know you personally, I know your heart was right and full of the greatness of a strong woman, scholar and police officer. To your Mom, I can't image the immense loss you feel right now. Your daughter shinned your light and we won't let that light ever be extinguished.

Peace and prayers to you, your family, friends and Police Partners.
Chicago PD, I'm saddened for your police family and the community Officer Preston serviced.

Officer Preston,

You accomplished so much, in such a short time. I'm sure you would have gone very far in life. May have been Superintendent someday. You lived and died heroically. Rest in peace. I'm praying for your mother, the rest of your family, your friends, loved ones and your colleagues.

End of Watch Saturday, May 6, 2023.


Rest in Peace sister and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
