I still remember the call that fateful morning. I was in Marana, Arizona on training as the Chief of Police. I could not believe what I heard, one of our best had been killed in the line of duty. Officer Pine was one of best Officers that I knew, always having a smile and being very helpful and professional at all times. He was my best friend and always will be. Rest in Peace Brother.
