Outside the Law Enforcment Officer Memorial in Washington D.C. an engraving reads "it's not how these men and women died that makes them heros, it's how they lived their lives". I will look for your name on May 15, 2005 and will remember your story. God speed warrior and hero.

Mrs. Hutchinson;

I can't say enough how sorry I am for your loss. I know your husband was a brave courageous man for putting on that Badge, as my husband does every day. As the wife of an officer, I'm at loss for words because my heart is broken because of a coward out there. But.... I know that only God can take care of you & your loss. I remember that afternoon of 8/11/04 it was raining; and as I was driving home from work @ SPD "numb" from the day, I was listening to the Radio and Gary McCoy from 97.3 FM / radio station played a song "Go rest High on the Mountain" by Vince Gill for Trey. As got out of my car from coming home from work, my husband was outside & I told my husband...YOU KNOW WHAT? The angels in Heaven are crying right now for that Bossier Police Officer.

Mrs. Hutchinson, I'm still "numb" as to what I'd like to say, I'd like to bring him back for you & fix everything but I
can't. My heart aches for you.

What I can say is that his brothers in blue are here for you. The wives mourn for you and we are praying that God gives you the strength to go on everyday. "And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear no be dismayed." Deut. 31:8

“When God made Peace Officers….”

When the lord was creating Peace Officers, he was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said, “You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.”

And the Lord said, Have you read the spec on this order? A Peace Officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn’t touch, and not wrinkle their uniform.

They have to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day.

They have to be in top physical condition at all times, running on black coffee and half- eaten meals. And they have to have six pairs of hands.

The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands….No Way.”

“It’s not the hands that are causing me the problems,” said the Lord, “It’s the three pairs of eyes an officer has to have.”

That’s on the standard model? asked the angel.

The Lord nodded. One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before he asks, “May I see what’s in there sir?” (When they already know and wishes they had taken that accounting job.) Another pair here in the side of their head for their partners’ safety. And another pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, “ You’ll be alright ma’am, when they know it isn’t so.”

“Lord,” said the angel, touching his sleeve,” rest and work tomorrow.”

“I can’t,” said the Lord, “I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on civil service paycheck.”

The angel circled the model of the Peace Officer very slowly, “Can it think?” she asked.

“You bet,” said the Lord, “It can tell you elements of a hundred crimes, recite Miranda warnings in it’s sleep; detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less time than it takes five judges to debate the legality of the stop…and still it keeps it’s sense of humor.

This officer also has phenomenal personal control. They can deal with crime scenes painted in HELL, coax a confession from a child abuser, comfort a murder victim’s family’ and then read in the daily paper how Law Enforcement isn’t sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Peace Officer. “There’s a leak,” she pronounced. “I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model.”

“That’s not a leak,” said the Lord, “It’s a tear.”

“What’s the tear for?” asked the angel.

“It’s for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag, and for justice.”

“You’re a genius,” said the angel.

The Lord looked sober. “I didn’t put it there,” he said.
