While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has earned his place in heaven. Rest in peace my friend, those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin, blue line.

I offer you my heart felt condolonces. I am a retired police officer and a member of the governing body of Dennis Township. Trooper Zimmerman died in service to the residents of Dennis Township, and for this heroic sacrifice we commend him. His death will not be forgotten and his memory will live on.

Never forget that police officers put their lives on the line every day. It is a sad day when we lose someone so dedicated.

Lets keep Trooper Zimmerman in our hearts and in our minds so that he will live on.

We too are from New Jersey. 21 months ago last night 5/4/02
we lost our 24 year old daughter in a call for back up accident. She served with the National Capital Park Police out Montgomery County Maryland.
I wish I could take some of my experience and use it to help you . It truely is a long road ahead. Dig deep and be strong for him and for you. Shock, guilt, anger, why us?
We are a long way from being OK, but were making progress.
If we can do it you can too, well be praying for you.

In honor of those that protect N Serve us each day. THANK YOU!!!!

THE POLICEMAN'S LAST ROLL CALL ...

THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE
HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS. "STEP FORWARD
NOW, POLICEMAN. HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU? HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER
CHEEK? TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?"

THE POLICEMAN SQUARED his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a Saint. I've had to
work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been
violent because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that
wasn't mine to keep, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just
got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with
fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept many unmanly tears. I know I
don't deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around
except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me Lord, it needn't be so
grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As
the policeman waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. "Step forward
now, policeman, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's
streets, you've done your time in hell."
