(Class 90-9) MPD. “Myself Jason White and Brian Gibson, took a picture at the entrance of the Police Academy. Little did I know that two of us in that photo will be lost due to On-Duty actions.
But I will never forget Brian’s sister standing alone during Police Week. I was in pain but I could only imagine her pain. I knew there was nothing I could say to comfort her or ease her pain. I tearfully walked away.
Brian and Jason you and your families are not forgotten and we miss ya’ll both !!
