I have never written a reflection before, although I have wanted to many times. This story of Officer Hutchison really got to me so I feel compelled. This fine Officer answering a 911 call to service is gunned down by the worst kind of murderer, he was shot in the back by a coward. I am angry, however I am so filled with sadness for this heroes wife, family, friends and all the fine people he worked with. Trey you may now rest in peace. You have answered your last call to duty with your courage and dignity with you all the way to Heaven. May god touch everyone who is feeling sadness and pain by the loss of our brother.

How familiar this scenario is to me - the suicide threat, the ambush, the senseless loss of a good and decent man.

Rest in peace, Officer Hutchison. I promise you will never be forgotten.

I visit this site often since we lost a dear friend to gunfire in June. The details of Ofc Hutchisons incident ring all too familiar. My heart aches for his entire family. Both within the department and of course, Trey's wife. May his legacy live on within each and every one of you.

His badge now has wings.
He IS your guardian angel.

Trey, I remember the first day I was assigned to nights when I started with Lufkin PD. I saw you in your pressed uniform and knew immediatley that you were very dedicated to the job. I recall the shift briefings and how we used to pick on each other. The way when you used to leave the station and within ten minutes you'd be on the way to the jail with one. Your dedication and enthusiasm motivated all of us on the night shift. You were and ARE the BEST of the best and will be remembered forever. God speed brother. Rest in peace. Jessica, WE love you and be strong. Trey has done his time in hell and is now in heaven. John 15:13 "Greater man hath no love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

To Trey's family and fellow officers.....I am so sorry for the loss of a fallen brother. What we do isn't for everyone and thats what makes us in this field so very special. It takes just as special people to be married to or close to us that do this. To the whole BCPD, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Trey.....rest in peace brother and you will be guarding all of us from up above, so thanks for all your service past, present and future.

To all Family, Friends, and Co Workers of this Officer:

On Behalf of myself, and the Family of Police Officer Daniel Starks (Ft Myers Fl, E/O/W 10-25-03) we want you to know that you are all in our prayers! The Lord will sustain you as you go through this difficult, and trying time, but just remember your loved one is being cared for in Heaven, and is now eternally safe. We hope that you all remain as strong as possible, and know that we are all thinking of you. No words are quite ever adequate, but Police Officers make the ultimate sacrifice everyday, and our hope, and prayer is that they will always be remembered for their heroic efforts, and kind hearts.
Blessings Always,
Jessica Ruhl (Daniel’s Fiancée) & the Family of Officer Daniel Starks

We lost another hero today; killed by a coward who shot him in the back. I will never understand why these idiots think thy have to kill an officer before they commit suicide. Officer Hutchison died a true hero and his community should be proud and thankful for his service. Rest in peace sir.

Pride Integrity and Guts

Some of you may know my face, but not my name. Most of you have seen me around the city and some have even met me, but not always under the best of circumstances. Some of you have even spoken to me on the phone, when you called me while I was working.

Most of you have an opinion on how my job should be done, but would never take my job if it was the last one on earth. And some of you who don't even know me, hate me because of my job. But when I go to my job, I go to make a difference and so I can fight what everyone else fears.

When most would be running away from danger, my job requires me to run towards it. I do this in the hopes of making a difference for someone else I don't even know. Most people say I make too much money, because my pay is published in the newspaper. But don't think twice about hearing about another sports player sign a 20 million dollar contract for 6 months a year of playing a "game."

Since my job's base pay isn't the best I must work extra to pay the bills. Including working extra shifts on holidays, and pick up side work at construction sites as well on my days off, most still complain thinking I am greedy, but don't they realize that I to must pay taxes, have a mortgage car payments and kids in collage as well?

Don't they understand that I am not paid for what I do, but for what I am willing to do for them? After all how can you properly compensate someone to risk their own life and face danger everyday they go to work?

And when I go to work I am punched, kicked, spit on and called every name in the book for doing my job. And every night I leave my house to go to work I realize I may not come back home in the morning. Because when I go to work I can be stabbed, shot, drown, fall, be electrocuted, or die in a car accident rushing to help you.

My job also requires me to carry special "tools" to help me do my job. Sometimes even while doing my job I have to defend myself from someone attacking me. Although, the newspapers will report to you that I "beat someone down", and not that I defended myself from an attack.

While at work I must also carry a gun to protect you, but should I have to use it, the media reports to you that I "gunned someone down" or that I "shot and killed" somebody, and not that I defended myself. Don't they realize that I shoot to live and never to kill?

Also when I go to work I wrap a protective vest around me to help keep me safe through my shift. I use this vest so that I will be allowed to live to the end of my work day. And hope and pray that should something bad happen that this vest helps keep me alive so that I will be allowed to see my children grow.

When I go to my job, I will see more pain, sorrow, agony, death and destruction in one month than most of you will see in an entire lifetime.


And to the ones who don't know me, I unforunetly will meet most of you at the worst times in your life.

You often will call me to come help you out with a problem. But if you have a really big problem you can get me at a special 3 digit number and me and my coworkers will race to your house, just to help you no questions asked. All you have to do is call and we will be there for you, no matter what time, day, night or holiday, rain shine or blizzard.

Sometimes my job also requires me to deliver lectures, babies and even bad news. I am also the one required to ring your doorbell in the middle of the night, swallow hard and advise you that a loved one will not be coming home tonight, then I spend the rest of my shift wondering why I ever took such a job.

Some people even refer to me as a "pig," but when I hear that word called to me or one of my coworkers I think of Pride, Integrity and Guts, which everyone in my profession needs to do this job.

Me and my coworkers must be able to have muscles of steel, have a sense of humor and put ourselves into dangerous situations and face danger head on all in a days work.

We must act in a second and make a decision in the blink of an eye, and spend the rest of our life hoping we made the right choice in that split second. If not we can be arrested and charged with breaking a law, be sued for violating someone's rights, or end up with even a worse fate.

My job requires me to take an oath to be their and to risk my life to protect you. And it is an oath that me and my fellow coworkers have taken and is one that we will not break.

What, you ask is my job, I am your local police officer. And what do I ask in return of doing all this and risking my life for you, nothing at all because it is my job and my hope, of being the one who makes the difference.
