Officer Down Memorial Page

As as Senior performing my interernship with my local department approved through Indiana State University (84-88), your sacrifice showed me how fragile this career I was choosing could be. An honorable profession, with a sense of duty to protect, & I was now thrust into reality of how bad things happen to good people. I could not believe it. Your sacrifice encouraged me to proceed....to learn, to train myself & then to train others in officer safety, threat management, & physical tactics. Not a day went back, as the uniform went on, as I quoted my survival pledge...I thought of you & your sacrifice, & the sacrifice your family took. I attempted to cover all fallen brothers & sisters throughout my career,
& to this day. I pray now that those you touched during life have been blessed with God's mercy & healing upon your death. Rest on, my brother, your back is always covered.
