Jerralee, I still remember our days at Fresno State. Even though you could have gone to work for Fresno County, you only had eyes for Monterry. I was on military active duty the day you left us and could not attend the services, but still I wasn't alone. I was surrounded by other brothers and sisters in uniform who also understood the grief of that kind of loss. Many years have passed, but your memory burns bright and you are with me always.

Jerrilee, I remember your wonderful, cheerful spirit. As a woman deputy, you were a pioneer. We thank you for standing on the thin blue line between our families and those who would cause them harm. Your willingness to serve and your final sacrifice is not forgotten.

On the 29th anniversary of Deputy Jacobus' death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Deputy Jacobus is not forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 29th 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

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.

Jerralle was a vital part of our midnight, 1st watch team. On the night in which she lost her life with Deputy Craig Knox, was not a night that the members and retired members of Monterey County Sheriff Office are likely to forget. Jeralle was a vision of peace and love for her community and her fellow deputies. She lit up the room wherever she went. She was one of those who could go to the most traumatic of events, like domestics, and provide calm in the storm by her presence.

Like my former partner, Craig Knox, she will never be forgotten and always be remembered. I am looking forward to the day that we can sit together in heaven and remember the times on patrol, briefings, and coffee shops.

To her family, even 26 years later, I pray for your strength.

Forever and Eternity,

Larry R. Bryant
