Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A lamb is a soft and gentle creature that roams a field looking to nourish itself. Police patrol and fly in helicopters day and night looking to cutoff evil before it unleashes its sinister forces against society. You answered sadly what was your final call, Officer Cook, such a heroically young man primed and ready to do battle with a man so lacking in honor, character and respect for mankind. Dade County misses you of course and so does your beloved family. You'll always be in their hearts, thoughts and prayers as they march on with your ideals, principles and morals from a positively with built environment raised by two loving and devoted parents. May they rest in peace along with you my neighbor, friend and hero. Such resolve and humility all from sacred missions transcending humanity's expectations.
