Police officers serve many different functions. There are those who are community service officers. There are those who work as sketch artists. And there are those who work at crime scenes taking pictures for investigations.

Officers who are our public servants take their onuses seriously at least most do. For those who find it difficult to carry and focus on staying honest, dignified and having integrity on their uniform and badges, you need not apply. One must have a certain thick skin to survive the daily rigors of stress and certain peril that lurks in our society. In Dade County that meant shielding others from harm which you did, Officer Cook. Our communications and concerns were dealt with in a sincerely admirable manner. There were no shortcuts. No letting up or backing away. One must have tenacity and not be timid. You can be reserved so long as you complete those tasks that are placed your way. If it means working longer hours or staying the extra five minutes whatever so long as desire and commitment are accounted for. God truly leads His flock of heroes and heroines to drink from those ponds of perseverance and prosperity. Your wisdom and vision, Officer Cook, led the way down those trails of trial and tenacity through violence and torment. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
