I’m new to the tv series and have enjoyed it tremendously. All the officers included have been exemplary human beings. I reached out to Mark Kordula and he was kind enough to respond to my message. At that point I had no idea about the death of officer Carson. I am shocked and saddened to learn this. Thoughts and prayers to Phylicia’s family, immediate and police. As I said to officer Kordula… The best of the best.
