To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81 rst 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.

Crockett Long is my great-grandfather on my Mother's side of the family. I grew up listening of the stories that my grandfather told me about Crockett during the days of prohibition, the Depression, and that fateful day in July. Crockett has inspired my passion for Law Enforcement and I that one day my great grandchildren can sit down and listen to my adventures like I did not so long ago. I still have Crockett's billy club that he carried. I will pass it down to my grandchildren like Crockett's son, Kenneth did. Godspeed Crockett, I pray everyday that myself and my brothers in Law enforcemtn make it home safe to thier families.

Crockett, you were the second Agent to be lost in the history of the OSBI, and the only one to be lost in an actual gun battle. Know that your story and sacrifice are made known to each new Agent that enters service with the OSBI and to the attendees of our statewide Citizen Academies.
Thank you for being one of those who set the standard for OSBI Agents. Know that you will never be forgotten and that you are currently depicted in a mural done at our headquarters that depicts the history of the OSBI, the oldest state law enforcement agency of Oklahoma!
May you rest in peace and may your family find solace in the service you gave to the citizens of Oklahoma.
