I didn't know Larry well . . . we only spoke on one or two occasions but I recall that he was a capable and honest officer that took his duties and responsibilities to heart and performed them to the best of his abilities. His passing left a void in our department that will be difficult to fill.

I remember the day Larry was killed and it was a somber reminder of the just how quickly this can happen to any of us. I did not know Larry but knew he was a fine Officer and person. Rest in peace my freind and God Bless your family.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 12th anniversary 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

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I often reflect on the times we worked with each other and our love for flying and the discussion on the best airplanes.

Far too often railroad police officers are not noticed or not acknowledged. I am glad to see Special Agent Jordan honored here. Justice may be blind, but these officers are the healthy eyes of the rails. God bless Larry E. Jordan, and his fellow high-iron officers for their work and countless sacrifices.

It's now been 8 years to the day that you were taken from your family and brother and sister Officers and Agents of the Norfolk Southern Railroad Police. I'm sure to those who knew and loved you, it's like it was yesterday. Though other bodies may come in and fill your spot on the roster, you can never be replaced and it's a safe bet you live on the hearts and minds of those still here in the physical sense.

A Railroad cop is as susceptible to the risks of police work as anyone but know your passing was in a selfless act and vital to the protection to a major part of what makes America great, it's railroads.

Rest in Peace, brother.

It doesn't matter where they work, what they do, or how many people they help. They are all Police Officers, and deserve a place to be remembered. Always keep in mind that YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

Larry, I worked with you for two years before moving to another agency. Less than a month after I left, you gave your life in the line of duty. It's been almost 8 years and I still think about you often. You are not forgotten. Rest in peace.

Larry, of the 17,000+ officers on the ODMP...you are the only one I knew personally. Just want you to know that I instruct a course on officer safety involving railroads and your name & memory are honored by each officer in every class I teach. Several of us still with the NSPD in Chicago remember you every October 7th....the day you went 10-7 on 10-7. God bless, Larry.
