I still think about you Brian but even more so the other day. I got a new phone and the only text message that transferred from the old one was to you. It read "Do you want to come in for OT tonight?" You never answered but I'll bet you came in that night. Miss you Walsh

I will never forget the ride along with you... April 18th, 2008... It got a lil' exciting by the Redondo McDonald's... I'll never forget the sedan with busted taillights, then the white SUV and the two collars you got... You and I both saw that before it happened... Its a good thing your buddy was at the park n' ride across the street... I am trying to complete my promise of becoming a fellow officer for FWPD... my Oral Board is in two weeks... Just know I'll dedicate my career to you...

I've never met you Brian. I found out about you by happen stance. I ordered a fallen officer aluminum bracelet in honor of my fallen friend Brian H. Jackson of the Dallas PD. It was supposed to come with his info on it that i sent the company. I recieved a bracelet with your info on it. Funny thing is is that i got it in the mail on Dec 6th 2010 and put it down on my desk that day and cleaned my desk today, Dec 6 2011 and found it. I was gonna send it back but I decided today to put it on and try and memorize your info. I also decided to find you on ODMP so I could read your story. Thank you for serving your community and country and paying the price for our freedoms brother. Wish I could've met you.

I sat on your oral board when you got hired and got to spend time with you in the Detectives office....I knew from the beginning you were a good man. Rest assured your extended family will continue what you started and I will never forget you. Godspeed

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time 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 officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Walsh. 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. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Brian, 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 Brian's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Brian's life was about so much more than the way he died. Brian will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Walsh, 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 seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

To the family and friends of Officer Brian Walsh and his fellow officers:

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

To Officer Walsh'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 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 dedicated service Brian gave to his community and the citizens of Washington, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 21, 2010.
