Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Capt. Peterson,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I began my career with the Department of Corrections just months after you were murdered in the line of duty. In time, I came to know your wife, son, friends, and numerous other family members, along with your “center,” the congregation of Clairton’s Mt. Olive Baptist Church. I am not sure I have ever met a man held in such high regard. Salute.

Captain Peterson, I want you to know that you have been an inspiration to me my entire career. I was told what had happened to you when I began my career as a Corrections Officer in 1978. I have thought of you many many times throughout the years. Please know that you have not died in vain. You live in the hearts of law enforcement officers everywhere.
