Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey there Baby Boy! Well it's late January and I'm sitting in this hotel room in South Kingston, Rhode Island cause the class was cancelled because of the Blizzard outside. The snow is piled up outside and the wind is blowing the snow around. I wonder if you have ever seen this kinda stuff? Maybe from the time you lived in Illinois. On a day like today I'd probably be calling you up to BS about what it's like here in RI. and whatever was going on but probably mostly to hear your voice. I'm writing stuff here because I was thinking about you and I miss you everyday. You know Brian I don't know how long ago it was that I made a commitment to pray for your sister and you every day. Just wanted to let you know that I still pray for you (and your sister) every day even though you are gone. I don't really know if it does any good now but old habits are hard to break. I Love You Baby Boy.

Officer Brian Law,
Right now I am at the hospital in Concord, Ca. It gets boring as a Security Officer to just be sitting at a desk watching Surveillance Cameras and everyone else in the Lobbies here. Anywho, I go on ODMP and read about Law Enforcement Officers who have risked their lives to Serve and Protect. Because they deserve to be remembered not only for what happened but for who they were as a Police Officer. I was reading more about what happened the day you left everyone behind. It all has overwhelmed me on how your wife and three children will have to carry on in life without you being there in person. I too have a son of my own. Even as a Security Officer, there is never a guarantee that I will come home at the end of shift. However, just like you I put on my uniform and badge to go to work. I just wanted you to know, that you insipire me to further my high intentions to become a Sworn Law Enforcement Officer one day. I thank you for the dedicated services that you provided to the communities you've worked in. My condolences to your family at home and your family at the CHP Offices.

Brian, happy holidays brother. I miss you and wish there was something I could do to change the outcome of you transferring from Oakland to Fresno. You were an awesome Father, Officer and a good friend. I'm sure you hear from Rebecca everyday in her prayers but know she and the kids are doing well. All us Officers in Oakland think of you often and your name comes up almost daily in our carpool into work. Wish I could have one more beer with you and give you our awkward handshake/hug. Talk to ya soon bro. Roy

Hey there Baby Boy it's been a little while (5 mo's) since you left us, but I still think about you every day just like before when you were still alive. I think about the things we went through when you & I were growing up. I was trying to teach you how to grow up the right way and I guess in a way you were trying to teach me how to be a good father. I didn't really have a good example of how to be a good father so I tried to do the next best thing and that was to use it as an example of "how not to". I know sometimes it was a real struggle, sometimes it was so very difficult as a father to do the right thing. Sometimes I used to think it would just be a whole lot easier to overlook your minor little infractions of the rules, like considering 2115 as on time when the exact time was 2100. Or taking ownership of your faults instead of trying to shift the blame onto a convenient friend. Oh how easy it would have been to just look the other way and continue watching the tube or drinking my beer. Oh but what a good son you turned out to be. I never knew at the time what the rewards would be like for not looking the other way. You have always been a source of pride for me. I never tired of telling whoever would listen about who my son was and what you had achieved in your time on this earth. I have to tell you son that God did not reward me appropriately as a father. Truthfully son I deserved the crappiest son on the face of this earth. You know how people would say sometimes that you will have a son that was exactly the son that you were to your parents? Well Brian I was a terrible son. I got into trouble with the law on several occasions, I didn't get into trouble on the most serious things I could have gotten in trouble for. I was so disrespectful to my parents, I lied to them, I stole from them and so much more. God has blessed me with more than my fair share of good fortune. I am glad that so many times when we talked I made sure to tell you how proud I was of you and the decisions that you made in life. I sure do miss you everyday since you've been gone. I love you baby boy.

He went to work that day and did not know
This shift he served would bring such sorrow
This call to duty would be his last
His time on earth is now his past
God set this day as his time to go
Rest in peace Officer Law, now a hero
He gave the ultimate sacrifice
With integrity and pride he paid the price
His family, friends and colleagues will mourn
As an angel in heaven he is now reborn
His golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best.

To Brian's family, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Brian was one of my Marines at the Paraloft in Miramar, CA from 2001 to 2004. He was such an outstanding example of professionalism, physical fitness, and good nature. I admired him greatly and counted it a privledge to have him there.

All my love to the Law family and CHP.

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

To Brian'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 our 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 Officer Law gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 17, 2014.
