End of Watch Monday, April 29, 2024



Rest in Peace brother 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.

Investigator Poloche, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 14 years of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

God rest your soul, Officer Poloche. May your family, friends, colleagues, and community find the strength and resolve to carry on in your physical absence and continue to spread the goodness to which you were so selflessly committed. You were among the best humanity has to offer. Your dedication to service and your ultimate sacrifice shall not be forgotten.

Heavenly Father, so many of America's Peace Officers who are on the front lines to protect us never make it back home to their families at the end of their watch. I pray for America's fallen peace officers, Lord God, who gave their lives for us. I pray for the families of these fallen heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved ones. Lord God, society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. I now approach Your Throne of Glory and Grace to beg of You for peace. Lord God, bring peace to this land - the United States of America. I plead for Your Divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Stop the violence that occurs amid our cities. I thank You for all of the American Peace Officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You send an everlasting peace so that the American Peace Officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

"And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." [Isaiah 6: 8 ESV]
