To the family and friends of Officer Thomas Haynes, the Richmond Police Department, and most especially to Officer Haynes:

It has been almost thirteen years since your death, but you are not forgotten. Your valor will be forever remembered and honored. How very sad that you had to die at such a young age.

It must have been a terrible blow to your department to lose two officers in such a senseless and brutal act.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service you gave to the community of Richmaond and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice you and your family made on December 28, 1992 in the line of duty.
Rest In Peace.

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. No officer who gives his/her life for us need ever be forgotton. You died a hero; rest in peace.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, December 28, 2003 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Officer David T. Haynes and Officer Leonard Walter Garcia who died in the line of duty on this date eleven years ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer Haynes' and Officer Garcia's sacrifice will never be forgotten.
