Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

It's a bird, it's a plane, it was and always will be the man, the gentleman, the humble, honorable and heroic young man wearing badge#1664 and a pressed and a notable uniform worn to preserve life and property in Dade County. Your virtue and vigilance, Officer Cook, outlined and highlighted two important areas: dignity and integrity the characters of sincerity and reverence both sorely missing today and forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
