On behalf of the men and women of the Maryland Transportation Authority Police I would like to extend condolences to the Bossier City Police Department, the Family and Friends of Patrol Officer Trey Hutchinson. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you continue to carry on with this great lose in your life.

St. Michael, heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eye on your earthly force.
Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, an uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment.
Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law breakers and impervious to temptations.
you know, St. Michael, from your own experience with the devil that the policeman's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.
And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of men. Amen.

While at work I heard the call "Sig. 50".

I had heard it before many times. I listened intently as I got this sick feeling in my stomach. All of me wanted to go directly out to the scene. I wanted to be there with Trey. To help in any way I could.

I chose to go staight to the hospital because it was evident that he was going to be transported there. I wanted to be there to reassure him that we the Bossier City PD was there for him.....to support him.

I had no idea how severe it was until I heard the medical staff talking. I just new in my heart they would treat him and he would recover.

He was brought in and rushed to the ER. As he passed by my heart sank my eyes teared. I called my wife. She answered and I could not get my request out as hard as I tried, I could not talk. I finally pulled together and asked her to pray for Trey and his family, especially for his wife.

I could tell they were doing everthing they could for Trey. I was in shock and disbelief when it was over...he was gone. I felt a part of me was taken away.

Next, I'm at the funeral wishing I could express my true feelings to the wife and family. I've never attended a police officer's funeral. It will never be forgotten.

To the wife and family, I can say he is in heaven. I have absolute peace in saying he is up there with God. I had the wonderful experience of being a part of Trey's police training. I could tell he wanted to learn everything he could about policing.

He will be missed but not forgotten. God is with you. He.....is.....with.....you.

The loss of a family member is always one that can never be placed in words. Trey was and always will be a family member to the officers of the Bossier City Police Department. I only had the pleasure of meeting Trey a couple of times, but in those few times, he impressed upon me, his love and belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The last time that I saw Trey was a few weeks ago on a call where a 4-year-old child had drown. During that time, Trey and I discussed how we must all be ready to go home to our Lord and how it could happen at any time. Who would have known that a couple of weeks later we would be mourning his homecoming. Though I am saddened by his loss, I rejoice knowing that he is in the arms of our Savior. My thoughts and prayers are now and for always will be with Trey's family. God bless you and always remember that ya'll are forever the family of the Bossier City Police Department.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Officer Trey Hutchison. I will pray for you all. As a former Bossier City Reserve Police Officer, my sympathy also goes out to the members of the Bossier City Police Department, it's hard losing one of your own. I met some very good people in my 2 1/2 years with BCPD. We all live with the risk of one day not returning home to our families, but we continue to do our best in protecting others, in this hazardous career. Officer Hutchison, you are a hero in my book, rest in peace my brother.

Working in Records, we really don't get a chance to get to know the officers on a personal level. I knew the most about Trey from seeing him in court every week. He was always there and never late. Trey's summons now has a new location (Heaven). I can't even imagine how big he is smiling now.

To the family, our hearts are broken for you. May God give you comfort and peace like no one of us possibly could.

The thin blue line has been crossed. Not in someone elses city, town or jurisdiction. It was right here in my home town. You, like all of my other brother and sisters in blue that have fallen are in my prayers. As I heard the tears of your wife and the pain of all else there, as I drove the route to your final resting place and saw the huge turn out of the citizens of Bossier to show respect, It really hit me as I saw my son standing at the entrance holding an American flag. As I stopped for just a split second to tell my 4 year old little boy that I love him and to hear the words "I love you Daddy" I lost my emotions as well. My brother Trey, allthough I did not know you well. I greive for your family. And as you patrol the streets of gold, rest assure my friend that the rest of us will continue where you left off. Rest in peace and just know that you are now a Guardian Angel to us all.

To Mrs. Hutchison and the members of the Bossier City Police Department, my sincerest condolences to you for the senseless loss of Trey.

The policeman stood and faced 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 a badge
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 got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept 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 here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a 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 born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

Our prayers are with the family at home and at work. There are no words that fully express the pain and heartache. Comfort each other.
He has earned his place now amongst a host of heros. They all watch over us.
May he rest in peace.

My fiance, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Trey did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Trey be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Officer Hutchison's family, friends, and co-workers must be feeling. My heart goes out to you all, especially to his wife. No one can truly understand the pain of our loss until they've walked in our shoes. I wish I could give you a few words of wisdom to help you through this tough time, but there isn't anything I can really say or do to make the situation better. Just know that my thoughts are with you.

Please accept my condolences on behalf of the McElderry family and remember that Trey is part of huge law enforcement family. If you ever need anything any number of them will be there for you (as I've quickly found out!) From reading the many reflections posted here, I am certain Trey was well respected and well loved.

Thank you Officer Hutchison for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiance Dennis for me.

Peace, Love, Luck, and Happiness!
