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"

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.
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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Today my heart feels the pain, anger and some resolve; for I will never be at ease until those who protect our peace are protected themselves. Mr., Officer Colvin Georges, based on my knowledge of the man, an officer and a gentleman. His desire to serve was the gate way to his death. I often wonder why the wicked prosper, but then I am drawn to Psalm 37. It would seems fitting to say why Colvin, but in respond why not; his end is a part of his whole legacy. The whole chapter of his legacy, his death included speaks volume of the quality of this true bold soldier. I met Colvin because of my brother Cecil aka “Blue”, don’t ask me to say a bad note about the young man or do not try to influence my prospective of him; as I have described him is what I knew about him. From the first time we met we meshed, Colvin had a passion and a desire to be a Virgin Islands police officer and I love talking about our police department and some of the world’s finest officers. When I spoke to Colvin it appears that he made it a daily duty to follow my policing career; he knew a lot of what I stood for and in some ways hinted he would like to follow as many examples as he could as were practiced by me. I enjoyed each of our conversations, Colvin always desire to know more and more about the police department and procedures, he was determined to join the ranks and be a great police officer. I always stressed to him that I always desire to be the best and that he should never settle for anything less. The Virgin Islands and the police department have lost a true and very bold and dedicated soldier. To all his family and closer friends, there always will be questions. There will be those that ask if he did the right thing by becoming a police officer. There will be those questions as to what exactly took place on that sad day. There will be the lingering question, why Colvin and not someone else? The truth is there might be very little or no comforting answers for any of your questions. One thing I do know, faith in God can comfort even the most troubled soul; Psalm 46. Now the sad thing about all this is, we are not short on finding the Colvin’s of this life to come to our aide and service; however, we are very short on the preservation of such bold soldiers.
