Officer Larry Dorsey:
We served together with the 101st Airborne Division at Ft Campbell, kentucky; I remember the day you were discharged, I knew you had a job with the DC police dept.
I just assumed that all was well. I always looked up to you, you could surely hum that baseball, you were a hero all the way.

AIRBORNE!

My law enforcement career began with the Metropolitan Police Department in November 1966 (Class #191). I was assigned to the 14th Precinct as a rookie officer. I recall Officer Lawrence Dorsey as a tall strapping lawman who set an example for me to look up to. His death and the circumstances are burned into my memory. It made me realize early that I was not invulnerable. I attended the funeral of a few other fine officers since. Each has made me realize that those of us wearing a badge reached retirement not because we were any better--we were just lucky.

OFFICER DORSEY I READ A ACCOUNT OF YOUR DEATH. YOU WERE A BRAVE MAN. YOU TOOK A SAWED OFF SHOTGUN AWAY FROM THE PERSON THAT KILLED YOU. HE RECEIVED NOTHING FOR IT THANKS TO JUDGE HALLACK AND THE CITIZENS ON THE INQUEST PANEL. I AND MOST DECENT PEOPLE APPRECIATE YOUR BRAVERY AND SERVICE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Dorsey, we have the watch...



I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!!
