I never met you Mr. Camfield, but I was on duty early in my career the night you were shot and have recalled the event often. Consequently I learned quickly not to take going home after shift for granted.

Rest in peace Detective Camfield.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 28th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

"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 whos 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.

I retired after 43 years with the FWPD.
Bob-where ever you are and if you are looking down I want you to know you were a true friend. We worked together for many years and they were the best years and we became close friends. Very few days go by that I don't think about you and the adventures we had in the dept more so when we first started the Major Case Unit. You are missed by all your fellow players. Bless you.

I was working Northside,just down the street from the Rocket Ball rooom the night you were shot and recall the chill when those words "Officer Down" came over the radio. You took care of the bad guy for us. We couldn't take care of you and I'm so very sorry. The hardest part of that night was going back out to handle calls like nothing had happened. Those moments never go away,, and each death since then just brings it back. God Bless you.
