Officer Down Memorial Page

To my two brothers in blue.
Moving on and facing god is a simple thing. But what it leaves behind is very hard. The one thing that no one can take from us, is our memories. The memory of both will live forever, and you will never be forgotten.

Brother, you died bravely and with dignity while striving to keep your community safe. My prayers are with you and the family you left behind. My wish is that justice will be served and that the animals that took your life will ride that Long Black Train… We will continue the watch from here.

Mr deepest sympathy to all the families and friends of Deputy Sheriff Jeremy Triche and Deputy Sheriff Brandon Neilson.
I am very sorry to say that yesterday two unarmed police officers were shot dead in Manchester in Great Britain.
The reason that I am adding a comment on this page for the fallen officers Jeremy Triche and Brandon Neilsen is that they are being cited as an example in the British media (The BBC) for why our police should not be armed. I was wondering how officers in the USA would feel about the sad death of two officers being used as some kind of reasoning for leaving their brothers and sisters in the UK unarmed to face violent and dangerous criminals?
Many officers who currently serve in front line response police teams feel strongly that the time has come when we should be armed.

We honor your service to your community as a law enforcement officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jeremy was killed. May his loved ones continue to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To his family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

This must have been a devastating to the agency and community as well to have lost multiple officers and have another wounded in this incident. I am praying also for the recovery of the wounded officer.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinguished service Deputy Jeremy Triche gave to his community and the citizens of Louisiana , and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 16, 2012.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
