Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Pollock was my father's best friend and I have heard a lot about him growing up. I have been archiving old VHS tapes from my family's collection and I came across news footage about Officer Pollock. I am reaching out to people who may wish to see it. Here is the link if you are interested. Rest in peace Officer Pollock.

Thinking about both you and Dan on the anniversary of your death. I was working that Friday night in Laramie and heard about the shooting although no details initially. I was there at your funeral to stand with all your brothers and sisters in your honor. You are not forgotten.

Patrick still to this day I am affected by your death and being taken from the earth. See at six yeats old you were my hero and to me you were invincible. For perhaps the first time in my young life i felt safe when you and mom dated. As a kid who knew his share of violence you showed me that men could be gentle and yet still be tough as leather. Every year on the day of your passing the world is just different to me. Thanks for showing me what a real man was. I miss you more than I could ever express in words. I love you more than anything still to this day. Thanks for watching over me in life. And introducing me jamocha ice cream from hagen daaz

Pat and the Pollock family, unbelievable that tomorrow, Dec 12, 2020, marks the 34th anniversary of the tragedy of Pat's death. All of you continue to be in my heart and prayers. Pat was a true example of what the badge represents as a professional and a person. This day brings sad thoughts but also some wonderful memories of a very special friend. God bless you all.

I think of you often Pat. I enjoyed working a car with you in District 2. You were a good partner. Today, for the first time since your death I finally was able to listen to the entire radio room recording of that day when I dispatched you to the call. It grieves me to this day. Rest in peace.

Thinking of you today Pat. I pray you are looking down on us and see how you affected all of us, from the way we live our lives to how we raised our kids. Nothing can bring a tear to my eye faster than the thought of you or the mention of your name. Nothing can bring a smile faster either. I know you are doing awesome things in heaven, because you sure did during your short time here. God bless you always.

My brother and I were explorer cadets with DPD. My first Cop funeral. I was in awe of the pomp and circumstance of the funeral. Now I've been to too many to count. RIP brother.

I vividly remember that day that your life was so violently ended. You acted bravely and heroically on that day, as did Dan Saracino. It is hard to believe that 32 years has passed since you left us. Rest in peace, Pat...you are not forgotten.

Dearest cousin Pat,
It's been 31 years today - I remember our last conversation a week before your death at a family Christmas party. I had recently graduated from the police academy and you were so upset with me because I was at the party on a Saturday night! I tried to explain to you that I was in the FTO program and therefore had the night off. We laughed because as a rookie I had the weekend off - you gave me so much crap!

In less than a week later while working patrol I was notified of a shooting in which a DPD officer was transported to DGH. My life changed forever that day - my mentor my cousin was gone. No longer around to share my LE experiences with - so sad.

But, I think of you all the time - I am still in law enforcement (started my 32nd year) and have worked through the ranks - attended the FBINA in September 2013 - the US Flag flew over the US Capitol that year on your anniversary date December 12th.

I remember how proud you were of me when I graduated from the academy in Sept 1986 - I hope I've continued to make you proud. I've felt you with me on my journey through law enforcement - my very own Guardian Angel.

Love and miss you cuz.....

Patrick was a friend and mentor to me. He taught me to play chess, and is still thought of at every game. He was one of the kindest people I've ever known. I remember fondly his Orange Crush can walled man cave. I now live within a few blocks of where his EOW happened. I get choked every time I pass that sign/house. He is still missed and never forgotten. Thank you Patrick for making so many lives better.

My Dear Friend Pat,
Your Dad was my Father's best friend. Our families were intertwined. We went to Regis High and played sports together. We both took both tests, I got on the DFD and you the DPD. Your name is read and remembered at every class reunion. Nobody who knew you will ever forget what a great guy you were. A man is judged by the company he keeps. I'm proud and fortunate to have had you for a friend. Rest in Peace Brother.

So many years have passed and the heartache of you being taken
will never go away. You were the most kind, thoughtful, polite person that I have ever known and your sense of humor would lighten up the room. You touched and made such a difference in so many lives during your short time here on Earth. Miss you and will hold the memories close. God Bless.
