Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

No one really understands how hard it is, how bad it hurts, to lose a brother in this tight family of law enforcement. That is, until it happens to them. But I would wish that no one ever feels that pain again.
It has been a year since we lost one of ours here in Flagstaff, AZ. Two of my dear friends were just hired into the family. To Officer Mitchell and all of the officers who have been taken from us, please watch over them and all of us here, working to make our communites safer places to live.

I worked for Gallup PD in the early 1970's. My nephew was the first officer (Ronald Baca)Gallup PD lost and now Officer Mitchell. My heart goes out to his family and the Department. It is the nature of the beast but we come to love the job and its inherent danger's always knowing that it will not be us losing the battle. His family I am sure are proud of his accomplishments and the weight of the loss will never diminish but hopefully they will confide in God and find some peace. God Bless them and the Department.
