End of Watch Wednesday, May 1, 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.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful, none of America's Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their assigned watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worse does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered in its wake. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the Line-of-Duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Sooth their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In His mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

Holy Scripture Verses found in the Law Enforcement Officer's Bible that will provide Hope and Comfort:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." [Matthew 5:9 CSB]

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 CSB]
