RPO Strange was my Great Grandfather and I am so proud of his legacy. When I decided to go into Law Enforcement in the early 90's, my Grandfather had mixed emotions after losing his dad at such a young age. He eventually embraced it and supported me while reminding me of the incredible person my Great Grandfather had been. 85 years after his death he remains an inspiration to community service!
