Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Extending our thoughts and prayers to the immediate family of Probationary Police Officer Edgar Ordonez and the extended law enforcement family of the New York City Police Department, New York.



End of Watch Wednesday, July 10, 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.

Officer Ordonez, 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 6 months of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the New York City Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Heavenly Father, You commit to us the swift and solemn trust of life: since we know not what a day may bring forth, but only that the hour for serving You is always present, may we wake to the instant claims of Your will upon our lives. In the face of questions without answers, of dreams unfulfilled, of the emptiness that will not go away, we are only compelled to thank You always for lives faithfully lived, for good memories and living hopes. We are reminded as we pray for family and friends who are touched with the feeling of sorrow for the loss of one of America's Peace Officers, that we pray to One who does not let go unnoticed even the falling of a sparrow to earth. We pray to One who weeps for this world, and therefore we come trusting that in life or death, we may find rest and comfort in Him. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

A Holy Scripture Verse of Comfort and Hope from 'The Law Enforcement Officers' Bible':

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