I remember Roland from our time together as Miami Police Cadets. I was on the shift following the incident in which he lost his life. I think of Rolland from time to time, even after fifty years have past.

The night that Rolland was killed a few of us were over his apartment and he left about 9:30 to be at work at 11:00 PM. He loved his job and wanted to be to early. Everything about Rolland was always to do the right thing. The next morning I arrived at Jackson Operating Room where I worked to find out that an officer had just died. Everyone was talking about this young officer and then I got a major shock to find out it was Rolland. We all lost a wonderful caring human being that day.

Rolland was to be engaged to a very dear friend of mine the day after he was killed in the line of duty. This senseless act of violence not only changed the lives of his family but the love of his life and her family as well. I spent many days with my friends at a horse ranch and Rolland was one of those friends. He was one of the most stand up guys you would ever know. It has been almost 44 years since his young life was taken, but he has never been forgotten. He was one of the true heroes in life. RIP my friend.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 42nd 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.

To The Family of Officer Lane:
I wanted to offer my sympathies on your tragic death. I was eleven years old at the time and remember some details of your senseless death. You are missed by your family, friends and colleagues. My dad like your dad was a longtime New York City Police officer. I came across a retired Miami Officer, his name is Dr. William Budd and we spoke in a Kent Security class I am taking and he remembered you. Rest in peace Officer Lane your sacrifice and bravery will never be forgotten.

Rolland and I were in the same graduation class at the City of Miami Police Dept. I remember him being a proud member of the department and if I recall he was able to get the same badge number his dad had. He had a really promising future and I recall at the time he was engaged to be married. On May 23, 1970 he had relieved me and was reporting to his zone. I never forgot him and never will. He was a real professional.
