I had the opporunity to work around Maro and know him. He was a nice person with a great personality. He will be greatly missed. I send my prayers to his wife and family in this most difficult time and hope they know that the Law Enforcement Family is here with them. We know how much of a great lost this is for you and you are in my prayers.

Words can not express how deeply sad we are that you are gone. Woody would always talk about how proud he is of you and what an excellent K9 officer you have become. We are heart broken, as is all of the UCFPD family. Be with God, we love you and you will always be in our hearts.

Why is it that fellow peace officers do not recognize plain clothes police officers. They are not under cover. I pray that someone do something so that this kind of tragic error never happens again. Thank you for your service and may you rest in peace.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Mario several years ago. When Rich had told me that he had made K9 I was so happy because I knew that he wanted to be a handler and that he would make a good one. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jenkins family. Mario you've done your time here on earth, go my friend and patrol the streets of Heaven.

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"

You my brother were in a struggle for your life, what a tragic loss. I was there, pondering what could of been done differently, I have no answers. You gave the ultimate sacrifice. I as well as my fellow officers are so sorry we were unable to help you in your time of need. I know the Orlando Officer involved, and you must know he is hurting, he has wept many tears, and he is so very sorry. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER. REST NOW, WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
