Officer Cook, you carried yourself with professional pride, integrity, honesty and humility in order for your messages of peace and unity through constant determination and the self-motivation needed for this to sink in. I used two words, "Homeland Security," and they were used because where they residents live is in an adult congregate living residence, not a facility, this is akin to a jail. They have freedoms to move about, some may even drive. I was told of a one-hundred and one year old man driving from this same place where I visit to Boca Raton, Florida to work. This is in Palm Beach County. In Dade county where you humbly patrolled you were well admired as a hero and an intelligent man. An officer of first class decency, desire and devotion to faithfully and loyally discharge his duties to serve and protect.

Astuteness and awareness must travel around with each brave soul of character, conviction and commitment to both excellence and pride. You donned your uniform and badge for a reason, Officer Cook.
