To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81rst anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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.

To the friends and family of Officer Koehncke,

In all my life I could never have imagined that the Dolton Police Department was only 2 strong!

I was a Harvey Officer for four years ('89-93). Dolton was just as big as our department.

Officer Koehncke died doing what I hope he loved doing-police work. His family should be proud of the sacrifice he made.

To the Officers of Dolton: I would hope that since Officer Koehncke appears to be the only officer killed in the line of duty in your department, that he be honored the way he should be.

May God bless Officer Koehncke's family, the officers of the Dolton Police Department and all those who walk the thin blue line every day.
