I Christopher Reed, I am hereby to say, if these guys won't to kill correctional officers for trying to do their jobs, keep making an example out of them sums. I've did time before no matter how mad a correctional officer rub me the wrong way I'd never take an innocent life. They deserve to be on death row for their actions and crimes I don't feel sorry for them a little.

I am a 17 year convict released and doing excellent in society. I never met scott grimes but i know his brother mike. I came into the system and the long term convicts had respect for scott. They all said he was a good man. Mike also a prison employee also showed fairnessas. Well as not discriminating against other inmates for his brothers misfortune. As a convict. Correctional officers should lead by example. You are the best promoter of change a convict has. When you have a persons respect they will listen to you. Many correctional officers are low life scum. A good officer like scott who had convict respect had to pay the ultimate price. My advice to any correctional officer is to do your job honestly ask yourself this question. If i was convicted of a crime could i do time in population. If you have respect you know you can. Remember a corrupt correctional officer can bring negative tension that can get you killed when you are trying to do the righ thing. I have been out 9 months and havnt been pulled over by the lae. Scott grimes didnt get a chance to show me a thing but his brother mike did. I thank all correctional officers trying to make a honest change for all. Its more than a job if your sincer.

Were to start, well first I will lead off with my name is Rebecca Grimes-King, the next to the youngest daughter of Sgt. Scott Grimes. My youngest sister Robyn found this page and as I read these reflections a million years fell as did what felt like a rush of emotion just as it did on the day of November 29, 1995, although I have grown over the years that have passed I still miss him everyday. I have two daughters now Hanah and Hayven that I wish so much were lucky enough to have known this man, the man all of you see as a hero persay and yes I do as well, although for him he would have just said "it's my job", he was as stated the epitamy of an officer, one that gave respect, fairness, and understanding. The ultimate sacrifice came to him without hesitation I am sure because not only would he had done this regardless, the fact that he knew it was his job to protect his fellow officers in blue he was just that kind of man! I love and miss him everyday of my life and will until my last day. I was lucky enough to have been blessed with a step-dad who came into my life as an adult but also knew my dad and respected him so much due to the fact he was a former correctional officer, he passed away as well a year ago but as most would say oh that sucks but in my mind I was lucky enough to have ha to love of two fathers, one which you all know made the ultimate sacrifice and it has changed so many things in the Department of Corrections for the better. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR UPLIFTING AND KIND WORDS! It's amazing to me what will touch and bring people together.. Some will know some won't but your birthday is this Thursday and we think of you every one of them and everyday! Until we meet again! :) GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

I conducted the investigation of Sgt. Grimes death. He was more of man in that situation than I would have been. He was a proud dedicated police officer who made honor to all other correction officers. His life produces hazardous pay for CO's. Bless and comfort to his family and his fellow officers. POL.

From talking to my fellow officers, prisoners, and the family members of Sgt. Grimes my biggest regret is that I never got the chance to meet the man. Everybody I know remembers Sgt. Grimes as an officer who was "fair, firm and consistent"--the epitome of a professional correctional officer. Rest in Peace and Thank You for your service; You will always be remembered.
