Reflections for Police Officer Richard Cartell Alexander

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.--Roman 13:4



Rest In Peace

Richard, your quiet and faithful service was an inspiration for us all.  While you will be greatly missed here on this Earth, may we all be comforted in knowing that you are safely in Heaven with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Semper Fi

To the Alexander family:  May God comfort you in your time of need for he is with you each step of the way. I want you to know I feel some of your pain and you are not alone. For I lost my brother in the early hours of October 5, while in the line of duty.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Colby Matteson

To you,your family,friends,and co-workers, my sincere regrets. We too lost one of our own on 10-5,due to a senseless,tragic accident. Some things Coppers can accept, but tragic accidents are just too strange to accept.


We are thinking of you,and our brothers and sisters in Blue, in Chattanooga.May you rest now that your watch is over.


To your fellow co-workers---- Keep the faith,and be strong,WE are all in this together.

You were someone we could always count on, no matter what, to get the job done, quietly and efficiently.  We in Communications loved you for that.  We'll miss you, and will always wish there were more like you!

Richard, we can rest easier knowing that you are in a better place....where the streets are much safer.  We will all see each other again, when the Lord decides it is time for a final line-up and we all patrol the streets of heaven together.

Officer Alexander was the best of the best, he always had a smile and a kind word. He was a gentleman officer, he will be missed. It is a comfort to know that the Lord above has such a gentle guard as he by His side.
