Sgt. Enriquez,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 38th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for the solace of all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hold your family in my heart's embrace today. Debbie, thanks for sharing a daughter's devotion to her beloved father.


Rest In Peace

He truly served and honored his country wholeheartly! He was sincere and served his swarn vows as a Sergeant in Bakersfield; I am an adult now and always remember how much he loved his family and his dedicated commitment serving as a Peace Officer. Though it has not been easy at times he is in my heart and missed dearly; and will always be "My Hero". I want to Thank the ODMP founder for Honoring a fellow servant; my Dad, now a Grandfather, a Brother, relative and a friend to many. Along with all the fellow Hero's keeping their memories alive. May God Bless My Dad "Elias Sanchez Enriquez" Rest In Peace and I hope someday I will see you again. Sincerely Your Daughter Debbie Enriquez, Lara-Sedillo

As my career's end is coming closer, I decided to check and find those who had lost their lives during the year I was hired. While it's been a long time, I'm sure those you left behind and served with disctinction have kept you alive in their memories. Thanks for your service and for looking out for us you left behind. Rest in peace Sgt. Enriquez!

Sergeant Elias Sanchez Enriquez,

The circumstances of your death are unusual, but so is the nature of police work. It is unfortunate that you would die in the routine execution of your duty. Each of us that enforce the law must daily perform the most mundane of tasks at times. When disaster strikes we all brace ourselves and think only of what each of us would have done in the situation, however when one of us dies doing a routine task we are seldom ready to understand. The fact is that you were doing your duty when you had the tragic occasion to run into a situation that would cause your death. This alone makes you a hero among heros. You died in the service of your fellow man and this is honorable. We pray for you soul and the family and friends you have.

To you I render a final salute.

Cpl. Ralph D. Fiorenza (Ret.)
Pennsylvania State Police

No fellow California law enforcement personnel killed in the line-of-duty, should be forgotten.

Sergeant Enriquez, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace

"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.
