Detective Giles Landry was my replacement in the homocide unit when I got promoted and went to the drug unit.He was assigned my old unmarked cruiser and took my radio call number when he went to detectives.I remember him as a very mild mannered gentleman that cared for the public he served.A very soft spoken individual with nothing but the best interest in those he served.I remember the day of the incident very well because a friend of mine who did not know Giles had taken my number heard traffic about the incident and was very concerned for me.

It doesn't seem possible that it's been that long since we had some of those memorable moments during the 33rd Training Troop. Even though you're not physically here, know that you will always be here in spirit and that you will never be forgotten.

Detective Landry,

You're funeral was the first police funeral I ever attended, 16 years ago now. I was a rookie of two months service at the time. Unfortunately, it was not the only police funeral I have attended. I know that you must have been proud of the turnout of your fellow troopers and officers that day, and prouder still of the gospel message that was proclaimed to all that day at your funeral. I will talk to you some day at home. Thinking of you and your wife and daughter.

Giles,
Even though you were taken from us 16 years ago, you are not forgotten. I still remember you reaching out to me as a new Trooper. While I filled your slot in your old patrol area after you were promoted to Detective, I never filled your shoes. Please know that your family, your friends, your community, and the Maine State Police still hold you in the highest of regard. You will never be forgotten.

Knowing every time you make that crucial fall. That he will come when you call. To come and pick you up.
Or talk you out of that treacherous jump.

Whether the roads are slippery and wet.
He would still come not knowing if you’ve met Even if Mother Nature sweeps away the trees. He’ll be flying down that highway like a breeze.

He’ll come with the peddle pressed to the dime. Anxiously questioning if he’ll be in time. Surprising all with his sirens and lights. Wondering if he’s gonna break up a fight.

He’s there to help you through it all.
Even if you were completely wrong.
To keep peace even if his life is on the line. He’ll be there to stop the crime.

When and how you hit that alarm.
He’ll be there to prevent your harm
Whether he has to stop evil in it’s tracks. He won’t let him make that bloodshed attack.

When you drive drunk at night.
He’ll be there with his flashing red lights. Running may be an option you might want to take. But he won’t let you run from your mistake.

When and how it comes to the end.
The Trooper will be there standing tall again. It’s not easy being the best.
That’s why seconds are for all the rest.

Hi Gile,
Fifteen years since you were taken from us. Wow, time goes quickly.
Think of you every time I turn the key on my crusier and head up and down the Pike.
You're still a hero to us. Thanks for keeping us safe.

To the Landry family & Members of the Maine State Police - please know

Gil:
Here we are, fifteen years from the day you left your office in Auburn
and went to Leeds, never to return. At times, that cold , wet Friday in
March seems so long ago, other times it seems like yesterday. Those of
us who were there that morning will never forget. Each year we talk and
make sure that Louise and Katie are doing OK.

Today there will be 15 red carnations in the DA's Office, near your
picture, one for each year since that Friday in March, placed there so
everyone will always remember you.

Peace.

Gil,
It's been 14 years since you were called home. When we lost you, we lost a big part of the State Police. Your bride Louise & daughter Katie have not been forgotten by us and are still part of state police family.
God bless you brother Gile.

God rest your soul and may he have mercy on your family.

PO Doug Eatherton
St. Louis City Police

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

So, if you've a place for me,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I’ve neither expected nor had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."
