Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi D Detail,

I think about Herbert all the time. He was a great rookie and after he finished his work in the APD jail and 909 beat, LT. Trout & Sgt. Hammock (another fallen) told me he was going to be my jr. partner on 01 beat. We didn't have FTOs in those days. I remember that day like no other. I can still remember his laugh and the difference he wanted to make. We, who were at roll call that day and knew him will forever carry on his legacy and remind those who we teach of his commitment.

I only knew you and worked with you for a short time but I found you to be intelligent man with sense of humor. From the conversations we had you were a great father and loved your family.

I was about two feet from this shooting when it happened in the roll call room and was one of three officers who attempted CPR. For all those who think "pranks" and grab a$$ in roll call are harmless, they are not. Herbert was a great, new officer. He always smiled and genuinely cared. It was a promising career cut short. That day was tragic to say the least. I will never forget that day.

Officer Herbert Evans was my recruit and as a new officer full of laughter and happiness. Officer Evans was happy and talked often about his wife and son. Officer Evans was eager to learned and excited about becoming a Police Officer. People often said that we looked like brothers. Rest In Peace, my comrade.....

to see the he was only 23 when he passed...this is his son again...i am now 28...5 years older than what he had been...sadly I have already liven more life than he had. I did not get to step into his footsteps, but that does not mean I can not honor his legacy. I am going to school right now to be a pastor. I feel that God uses us in different ways and lets us see different things in life by the experiences that we have. I want the world to know that there is life after death and the end does not have to be the end for those left behind, it can be a beginning. A beginning of something brighter and more. The ones who pass would not want us to give up everything in mourning, but continue on in life and make the most of every day. This is my wish for everyone in life. Dad I may not have been able to know you, but a part of you still lives through me. Thank you for giving me life and allowing me to show the world what you stood for.

"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.
