Officer William Clements,

I remember your "kid brother" Jack coming into the P.G. County Police Central Records Division on Addison Road in Seat Pleasant one night shortly after joining the Seat Pleasant Police Department, and telliing me how he hoped to try and fill the shoes you left behind.

He looked up to you, and wanted to be a cop, just like his
big brother.

Although I haven't seen Jack since 1969, by what he wrote above, he's done real well for himself, and I know your so very proud of
him.

May God Bless.

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him. He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference. He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent. He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him. He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm. He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary. He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him. He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became frustrated when true justice became sidetracked. He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he never wavered. He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him. He longed for his family during the long hours. He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart. He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him. He was a good son, a loving husband. He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the people he served. He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to be the best he could be. He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him. He was a cop, he was my Brother

Brother Clements,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” I hope the perpetrator has been sentenced to the most severe penalty. It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in the memory of you and your partner. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. AC
