In the early 1960's I was a young Sgt at Folsom Prison. Roger Bauman and another deputy were sent from the Sacrmento SO for a week of training at Folsom. I got to know Roger as I was assigned to work with them during the training session.. Roger was a giant of a man both physically and personality. I vividly recall discussing his body building techniques. He was an avid supporter of the "Vic Tanny" Gym program of the era. I too was greatly affected by his untimely and unnecessary death. I still think of Roger often. He was the the type of person who made an immediate lasting impact upon meeting him.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 48th 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.

Reading the reflections confirms for me that the anquish of your band of brothers always stays with them if they were with you for any part of the incident.

Roger and I were recruits at the same time and we worked in the jail together for a year, required of all new deputies. I hit the street with a training officer two weeks before Roger and was on duty the night he was killed, working the adjoining beat. Sgt. Smith is right, it was Roger's first shift of duty on the street. We arrived on the scene as Roger was being placed in an ambulance to go to Roseville Hospital. I was the only person immediatly available who knew Roger's wife, so we were assigned to go to their home and pick her up to drive her to the hospital. When we arrived, we got a glimpse of Roger in the ER, laying naked on the operating table, being worked on by a team of doctors. He was a big, storng guy, but he died hours later. The bullet he took from the bad guy went into his right armpit, split and went into his vitals in two directions. His bullet hit the bad guy in the head. His partner/training officer had major difficulties dealing with Roger's death and eventually left the department, even though he was one of the finest cops on the department. I think of Roger often, along with the other dozen friends and coworkers who have lost their lives in the line of duty over the forty nine years I've been in law enforcement. Their lives were too short and they were all heroes in my mind, doing God's work.

Rest in Peace Brother. I read about you in a book called "The Deadly Routine" by author Jack Morris, a book written to save police officer lives. Unbelievably, you were just on your first night of street duty but fought heroically to stop the suspect and to protect your partner's life. Lessons learned from your situation will save other's lives. You will never be forgotten.
