I want to offer my condolences to this truly dedicated Officer and his family. It's a shame to hear that another officer has paid the ultimate sacrifice. We protect our communities from harm but take the risk of not coming home. I appreciate the service you have given us.

Cesar, I spoke with your wife tonite. She is a strong woman. She says your son is doing better, and Jasmine misses you so very much. Father's Day was hard for them, but together they got thru it. She's learning to be a member of the "Girls Club". She misses you so much though, I hear it in her voice. Watch over her and let her knoe yor're there on her shoulder.

Cesar, I spoke with your wife tonite and she told me what a fantastic man and member of the community you were. She told me how active you were in the community and how much you loved the children. The El Paso SO has lost a brother and a hero, to his wife, his children, the community but GOD has gained another Peacekeeper to look over those he left behind. Rest in Peace, Cesar, we'll watch over your family.

Officer Arreola,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of El Paso County. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections/Detention Officer. I have served in El Paso since 1996 with the Border Patrol and I have nothing but respect for the officer of the El Paso County SO-they have always been professional with us and treated us good.

To the family and friends of Officer Cesar Arreola and the members of the El Paso County Sheriff's Dept.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you have suffered when Officer Arreola tragically died.

To Cesar's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son Larry was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.


This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Arreola gave to his community and the citizens of Texas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 18, 2009.
