Officer Lanahan:

May the story of Your unfortunate incident serve to save the life of others.

I remind less-tenured officers to search arrestees even those supposedly searched by other officers. I often share the following:

Twenty years ago, I was assigned to work a jail. While inside a locked booking stall, the DUI arrestee saw the motor officer place his weapons into a gun locker. The arrestee looked at me and said, "Where do I put my .357 magnum?" Now, mind you, motor officers do not transport. Had the arrestee been a truly bad hombre, it could have been a real bad day for any of us along the booking process.

Incidentally, I told this story to a probationary officer who an hour later searched an arrestee seated in the back of a patrol car, and found a loaded gun...

Sir, may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.

We ask Thy blessings and eternal rest to all our brothers and sisters
Who have sacrificed their very lives in the performance of
their duties. Give their loved ones the peace and
Strength to bear the anguish of their loss. Remove all
resentment from their hearts, knowing that eternal
peace and rest will abide their departed loved ones
forever. This we beg, Thy name forever and ever,
Amen.
