Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

I started as a police officer at age 20. When I look at Scot's picture I see me only a few years ago.

Even though I didn't know him, my heart still feels the pain for the death of a brother.

Officer Beyerstedt,

Drill Sergeant/PSO Christensen emailed me about your sudden death and I was deeply moved. There is no doubt that the gates of Heaven needed a motivated and dedicated officer to guard the Gates of Heaven. Remember your training as you stand with St. Michael. Until we meet again, stay proud, we have your shift from here.

Mr. and Mrs. Beyerstedt and Family,

It has been a tough summer for KVCC law enforcement graduates. The untimely death of your son Scot saddened us all.
While there is nothing I could say that would lessen your loss, I thought it might help to know that Scot died doing what he really wanted to do in life.

As one of his instructors, I recognized the heartfelt enthusiasm Scot had for his career choice. This is indicative of someone who has received a calling not someone who has just sought out a job.

Scot was respected by his peers and instructors alike and this respect extended to his employment situations and amongst his fellow officers.
My experience with Scot was very positive. He was a very nice young man of good character and moral upbringing. He embodied the qualities we need in law enforcement.

It truly is a tragedy that his time on the job was so short. I hope someday you may find comfort in knowing that Scot died serving his community in the finest traditions of his chosen career, law enforcement.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

Respectfully,
Jeff Shouldice

Scot was a wonderful young man and I feel blessed to have been lucky enough to know him. From all the bluedogs who love you, please watch over us and guide us as we continue on where you left off. We will never forget you Scot.

It is said that EVIL flourishes when good men do nothing.

To the family of this brave officer who gave all so that others might live, I extend my deepest sympathy and gratitude for your continued sacrifice.

To those of us who were left behind who still wear the badge, the mission continues... tomorrow is another Tour Of Duty... May God comfort you with the knowledge that you DO make a differance.
