I met BJ while I was working with him on a detail to stop auto thefts. BJ was always professional, personable and a pleasure to work with! I attended his funeral with so many brothers in law enforcement who could barely hold back their tears! BJ will always be remembered as a true cop, but more importantly a great friend to all that new him. God Bless you my friend, Kevin Perridge
