Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Morrison,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

In 1974 PO Gerald Morrison working the 80 Series in #11 saw a wanted suspect enter a bar and they went inside to get him, but unfortunately PO Morrison was killed inside the bar. It hit me particularly hard because he just got off of furlough and I was talking to him in the station. I can't describe the feeling when seeing his bloody clothes after they were brought back in a bag from the hospital.

Officer Gerald Morrison was my sister's husband and the father of three small kids ages 2, 4, 6. At the time of his death . He was very dedicated to his job and his family. It was very hard on his wife and children after his death. I try to speak of him to his grown children as often as I can to tell them just how brave their father was and how he gave his life in the line of duty.

As my career's end is coming closer, I decided to check and find those who had lost their lives during the year that I was hired. While it's been a long time since your passing, I'm sure those you left behind and those whom with you served with distinction have kept you alive in their memories. Thank you for your service and for looking out for us who continue in our chosen profession. Rest in peace Officer Morrison!

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Jerry was my first regular partner at #11. He was a great guy and a great officer. He moved on to plain clothes, to his delight, and our admiration, and was killed a short time later serving his country, and his city. God bless you Jerry we who served with you will never forget you. Rest in peace.
