I just wanted to say, Robert Davey Jr, was a good man, and an inspiration to alot of people. He was killed, doing a drug bust on his day off, he volunteered to be there. His son Robert "Trigger" was my best friend in the whole world from about 4 years old until Jr. High. His other son was my little brothers best friend, and of course the girls were my sisters best friends. We were all kids when this happened, but we were all family. If I remember correctly, Robert was the first officer to die in the line of duty in Alameda, and did so on his day off. I was pretty upset that they named a crummy little street on Bay Farm after him, when he deserved so much more. My blessings go out to the whole Davey family, and last I heard, at least one of the girls joined the force, and last I heard they had moved a couple of hours from here. Hope to talk to any of you soon.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 26th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you
continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to the home state of myself and my cherished son Larry Lasater who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

How very sad that you were robbed of your life at auch a young age. I can see from the loving reflections left you had such a positive impact on the lives of others, and that you are still loved and missed by so many. I am sure that you are proud of those who followed in your footsteps, especially your son.

The bullets that kill our beloved officers also kill a part of everyone who cared for them. I hope one day to meet your family at a Nor Cal Cops meeting or function.

Rest In Peace.

Rob I returned to this site to read the refelections again after many years. Sounds like you were such a great cop. I am so proud to have known you, even though we only saw you on vacation in England and at my wedding so many many years ago.
God Bless you always

Thinking of you today as we are preparing for a funeral for another officer killed in the line of duty. Your son would make you proud. His dedication to his fellow officers and honor that he upholds is unbelievable. He truly knows what it takes to be a brother in law enforcement and he learned from the best.

I was living in Texas when I received my Island Journal with the horror on the front page. Karen was so much fun for a Doggie Diner run, I ached for such pain for a wonderful officers wife and family. If Karen reads this -our grammar school is getting together.

Rob,

You were among the APD officers I knew best and grew up around. You were always kind and friendly to me whenever you saw me. I still remember the night I was in that auto accident and you were at the hospital when I was brought in to the emergency room. You called my parents and waited with me until my dad got there. You also attended my going away party right before I left for the Air Force. I was just about done with my enlistment when my dad broke the news to me of your passing. Jim Hilt also told me what happened after I got out of the Air Force. Thanks to you and others who had faith in me, I realized my dream of becoming a police officer. Thanks for all you did for me, Rob. Rest In Peace and God Bless.

The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
