Reflections for Chief of Police J. B. Hamby

I knew J B from Catoosa as my brother and I worked at Rolling Hills Country Club and J B would drop by the pool often to chat.

Many a Monday he would show up brused and battered from a altercation that weekend.

He was the type officer that would just wade in and confront the situation. No waiting for back-up or looking for help from anyone else.

His life and death left an impression on me as a young man.

The stories of J.B.'s life moved me to get involved in law enforcement, and to do my best everyday.

J. B. was one of the old school law enforcement officers, never afraid of anything and always there to help. His courage was well known throughout Oklahoma and those who worked with him knew that they could always depend on him when the going got tough. He is missed, they just don't make them like that any more. God bless J.B.
