Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Sheriff Jordan,
On today the 40th 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 USAF. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I worked as a dispatcher for the Cheatham County Sheriffs Department during Frank Jordan's short career there. Frank was an honest, dependable , gentleman who went into law enforcement to help people. I dispatched during the 4pm till midnight shift which was Frank's last shift before he was fatally shot. Frank came into the office earlier in the evening and I had the UT basketball game on the radio. When Frank went 10-10 Station R at midnight, he called me by phone to see who won the game. I had no idea that I would be logging Franks final 10-10 Station R call. I went home and took the phone off the hook and went to sleep. I'm sure Frank went to sleep too, but he was on call so he did not take his phone off the hook. Frank was called out to answer a burglar alarm call at the Pegram Pharmacy and a few minutes later he made the ultimate sacrifice in his role to protect and serve. Frank bravely gave his life in the line of duty.

We were both working evening shift that night and we both checked off at 12 AM. I went in to bed, Frank got called back out later in the morning hours to answer the call at the pharmacy. I woke up and turned on the news and saw what happened and headed in to work. Frank was a brother in blue and one of the most polite and well mannered Officers I have came across in my 38 year career. A time in my life I’ll never lose memory of. Looking forward to seeing you again one day Officer Frank Jordon.

This should have never happened....selfish act!
My uncle was very dedicated n loyal to the job he called his, he was so proud to serve his community n he gave it his all.

This is a wonderful memorial for my Uncle Frank. I never got to meet Junior (as he was called) but I have heard he was an amazing man and truly a hero among men.

Dear Frank,

Although you are on my mind many times, today I received a call from Officer Down. Memories came back of this awful night. I will always remember what a fine young man you were, what a fine christian man and such a pleasant person to be around. Your fight for for what you believe left a mark on the rest of us which will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 30th 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 diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for 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. How your poor mother must have suffered.

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.

No hero should be without a reflection. Deputy Jordan's selfless sacrafice and courage are still remembered and even after nearly a quarter century his value and worth is still missed.
