To many times I sit in front the this computer and again see another "Brother in blue" taken from us. Everyday that I work I turn on the net and come directly to this website. Some of the guys tell me that I am too paranoid and that I am too Cautious. Sometimes, God choses to take one of his "Protectors" home regardless how carful we are. I feel that God has Chosen to take Officer Matthew Pavelka home because he has spent him time in hell and now he needs him standing next to the throne. As a grown man and been wearing the uniform for a unappreciated 81/2 years, I still get excited to come to work. If God choses to take me from this earth, then I know that I that I am going to another place that where Officer Pavelka is still patroling the streets of Gold and keeping them safe. My god be with his family and give them some type of understanding and comfort.

Remember, and let us never forget the sacrifice(s) that so many officer have made.

Rest in peace Matt, you will always be in our hearts and in our memories. The times we shared with you in England we will hold close to us and smile each time we remember you and your dedication to service. Our prayers are with your family through this difficult time. We will miss you deeply. To a former Air Force Security Policeman here is a little prayer.....

Lord, you have called us to be guardians of a nation founded on your principles. Whatever our tasks as Security Police men and women, we do them to serve you and our nation. We are proud to accept responsibility of this high calling. We dedicate ourselves to our vocation, and ask for guidance and courage in aiding our people to live with dignity, and safety and peace. We know that true security comes from your presence, so we pray with the psalmist: You bless those who obey you, Lord; your love protects them like a shield. Use us, O Lord, as a shield for your people reflecting your security and peace. Amen.
