Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Cleo Platt

Grandpa, although we never met, your oldest daughter turned out to be my mom. I always Looked up to police officers as I grew up But never understood why mom did not want me to become a police officer.

Once I found out about you, I understood her concern. I thought about you in every law enforcement job I ever had and knew that I always had to go home safe.

After nearly thirty nine years as a police officer, I finally got to retire and be with my wife. By the way, she raised three wonderful children who turned out to be appreciative of a man who gave his life to being a public servant, just like you! I love you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 84th anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
