Deputy Rein


On behalf of The FDNY and NYPD, We thank you for your service, and pray for you and your family. The FDNY is hiring Firefighter,but unfortunately I won't be taking it because they deem me at 46 to old. New York unlike the rest the country has age limits on hiring police officers and firefighters after 35. A few years ago I was applying for a sworn position on The LAPD at the age of 43. The reason I'am writing this because you had only twenty-years on as a deputy which made you 56 when you got hired! You are a major inspiration to alot people over 40 who want to enter a carrier in public saftey. You had one in common with Jack La laine when He was 76, NEITHER ONE OF YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE 76. Again thank you for your services and Godbless

Thinking of you with reverence today. I believe your family still awaits justice and that whole waiting period is torturous as well. I hold them in thought and prayer and pray for their solace.

To the Family of Deputy Rein:
I have left a reflection for other fallen officers and the senseless crime of murder which took your life. You were taken away from your family, colleagues and community. I often pass by where you lived at Wynmoor Village and have visited your grave at Star of David Cemetery. Each Friday afternoon, I drive by the pawn shop where your accused killer Michael Mazza was captured. I also drive by where you late colleague Sgt. Reyka was gunned down. I conduct services at ALFs in Broward County. My family happens to know detention deputy Daryl Ferguson. We have known him for over 40 years. My dad was one of NYPDs finest for almost 40 years from 1928 until 1966, when he retired. I also worked for the USPS as you did for over 11 years. My sympathies once again Deputy Rein to your family and you should rest in peace, knowing you were a true hero to your police department.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

You are loved and missed by many, especially your family and friends.

The pain and the pride are forever. Rest In Peace

To the Rein family. This year I am participating in the Police Unity Tour for the first time. We will bicycle from Jersey City NJ to Washington DC. Each rider either selects or is assigned a fallen officer to ride for. That rider wears a special bracelet with the fallen officers name on it and at the end of the ride presents the bracelet to the family if present. I am honored to have been assigned Deputy Rein as my honoree. I feel a special bond with Paul as I too have retired and joined another Law Enforcement Agency (Monmouth University)I hope to meet you in DC and present you with Deputy Rein's bracelet. Please feel free to E-mail me with any questions or info. God Bless..Bruce Johantgen

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Deput Rein. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Paul, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Paul's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Paul's life was about so much more than the way he died. Paul will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Deputy Rein, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)
