Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Showmanship is one thing. Showing up prepared to fight evil is obviously another matter. You displayed great awareness and the astute attitude which makes any officer that much more ready for the challenges that lie ahead. Dade County had a master student and a fiercely determined leader in its midst, yourself, Officer Cook. A stellar man of character, stoic and yet refined and humane. Your humbleness allowed you the opportunities to seize upon an adversary such as terror and endeavor to eradicate it. Sad you cannot be with your family, peers and friends today, Officer Cook, to see your heroism living in those structures your vigilance helped to develop. God has the models of consistency sheltered forever where no harm will ever befall you again. You served with virtue and surely that passion has been passed down to other brave souls. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Brothers and sisters of the law enforcement all working toward a means, a goal and a conclusion to all this wickedness which threatens to destroy a society whose hopes of peace and tranquil times are hoisted on the broad shoulders of the humble and honest who diligently serve and save lives in unison.

Tragically crime is not a nickel and dime dilemma. It's a very costly situation which makes America strive to find solutions to the headaches caused by such misery. It does not take science to figure out plans, but,rather, departments and communities must reach out to the populations served by honest and hard working individuals all with certain talents and skill sets given to them by God Himself. Your awareness and compassion, Officer Cook, made you better equipped to handle the rigors of a demanding profession., whether in crime scene taking pictures, as a community officer or in the battlefields where one's boldness and mettle are given a stern examination by the enemy we brand as evil.
