 | Officer Billy Michael Kaylor Atlanta Police Department Georgia Monday, August 23, 1971 |
Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace in such incidents & our only real comfort comes from Him. May His strength, comfort & peace continue to be the sustaining force in the lives of all who knew this beloved officer; and may it somehow help to know he is not forgotten.

As a rookie cop, I was the first officer on the scene that night. Two black males shot him in the face. I tried CPR. Billy died at the hospital later that morning. I cried for three days and still do when I think of him. An absolute gentleman, he was truly too nice to be a cop. Sergeant James M. Wright (retired) Fort Lauderdale (FL) Police Dept. 2007-02-10
May you rest in peace, Sir! You are not forgotten. Police Officer
