To the Family of Officer Phillip Meacham from Lisa Lancaster's Aunt Peg and Uncle Charlie Knotts and cousin Lana Johnson: We were so saddened by the realization that this young man was not just a name to us but family. These sorts of tragedies seem to happen so often and with such regularity these days that we start to forget that these men and women, who are out on the streets helping to keep others safe, are in harms way every day. Realizing that Phillip is my cousins' son made this our tragedy as well. His Grandfather Jim was so proud of him and told my mother about him every chance he had. We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF HOPKINSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, POLICE OFFICER PHILLIP MEACHAM I.D. # 418.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Police Officer.
We in the law enforcement community are a family, although our uniforms may be a different style and vary in color, a badge, shield or star may be pinned upon our chest. Our areas of enforcement may vary but our goals are the same, to Serve and Protect our communities.
We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are: Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff’s Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Police Officers, College Campus Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state prisons, county jails, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILY, the thin blue line of protectors, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice and the sacrifices of their families.
Daily our position is clear that we will Serve and Protect our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of good over evil facing the unknown with courage keeping our trust and our faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
ALL LIVES MATTER - LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SHOULD BE RESPECTED - If we don’t respond to that call for help, or investigate that suspicious subject(s), or stop for that stranded motorist, or rush to that call of shots fired, then who will?
OFFICER MEACHAM
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in the City of Hopkinsville in the Commonwealth of Kentucky with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I’m proud to have worn the uniform of a law enforcement officer like you did.
I’m proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I’m proud to have Served and Protected my community as you did.
I’m proud to call you my BROTHER!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do.............................. Serving and Protecting your community with Honor and Pride making a better and safer place for us all.
FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT, “LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW.”
FINAL CALL
Officer Meacham status...................... Officer Meacham status...................... Officer Meacham status....................... Attention All Units...............Hopkinsville Police Department, Police Officer Phillip Meacham I.D.#418 having served the citizens in the City of Hopkinsville in the Commonwealth of Kentucky with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now 10-42.
Rest In Peace my fallen BROTHER, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

It will be a very sad Easter as Hopkinsville, KY Police Officer Philip Meacham was killed by a criminal who was impersonating a police officer. My thoughts and my prayers are with his family, the entire Village of Hopkinsville, KY and their entire Police Department on this very tragic event. Another Police Officer has been killed just before Easter and it puts not only just the family but the entire community as well as the police department in mourning.
