Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today as we approach the 76th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 7
2 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I cannot even comprehend the magnitude of grief your mother had to endure in losing her husband and her two sons in the line of duty. No one should have to pay this high a price. For your wife to then take up your mantle and become the first female sheriff in your jurisdiction was an amazing testament to how your family stood for law and order in your community.

I just read the information about your murder while performing your law enforcement duties. About three months prior to your murder, your dad and another brother were killed doing police duties in a different jurisdiction. Thanks to your family for the willingness to do this dangerous job and for a great sacrifice for one family.
God bless each of you.
