Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

As a police officer myself as well as a resident of the city of Vacaville, the loss of Officer Bowen cuts deep. I had the honor of attending Matthew’s service and participating in the procession through our city. It was surreal to drive those roads I drive most days and see the city from such a different perspective. The support that was shown by the community and a host of other agencies was a sight to be seen.

I pray for the healing of Matthew’s family and for the healing of his brothers and sisters in the Vacaville and Concord Police Departments. I pray for the repentance of the woman who stole Matthew away, that she may face Your judgement. I pray for the continued support of the community for our law enforcement profession. I ask these things, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Another life cut short by the blight of drugs. I feel motorcycles are unsafe, wish that they'd stop using them as one is far too vulnerable
