I stood guard over Brett's body and the scene for several hours that day to allow his Sergeant and squad to leave and start their mourning. Finally being relieved by the investigators that flew in from Phoenix. It still haunts me, as it does my wife, who was one of Brett's field training officers. We miss you Brett and know that you are taking care of the highways of heaven.
