Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sgt. Prendes during the 2006 Utah Sheriff's Convention I had the honor of watching a tribute dedicated to you by Lt. Randy Sutton. I wish I could thank you for what you have done not only for my career but also on a personal level. Although I never had the honor of meeting you, you are the reason I have remained in law enforecement. You have changed my entire out look on not only my career but my life. I proudly wear a bracelet dedicated to you on my right wrist. I only hope one day I can be half the officer you must have been.

Henry is one of the BEST I truely miss him as a friend and a great human being, Henry has compassion, sympathy and empathy for all. Due to the Departments warped sense of reality when it comes to the patrol rifle policies and the constant battle for officer safety I was unable to attend his final resting and look the sheriff and staff eye to eye without speaking my mind. I still think of Henry once a day and pray for him and his family. He has done many great things that will be remembered forever, I miss him and I will never forget his spirit. Godspeed my friend, GODSPEED!

Sgt. Prendes,

I was watching TV about the elite officers of the LVMPD, like many officers, hoping to learn something new that would one day save a life- officer or civilian. I froze when I heard the automatic gunfire and officers yelling for immediate assistance, it brought back painful memories of the loss of my friend/co-worker Ofc. Isaac Espinoza, I was there and will never forget. You and your officers charged forward and never backed down, I have nothing but admiration for officers who display such heart. May your family and friends find some peace knowing that several lives were saved that day, and bless the officer who responded with a rifle and ultimately ended the threat and survived from his injuries. Sorry for your loss, thank-you for your service Sergeant.

I was just watching a show called "Fugitive Strike Force" on TLC, and learned of the murder of this fine officer.

I'm sure that although almost a year has passed, your family, friends, loved ones, and collegues still miss you dearly.

RIP brother, heaven has another Blue Angel to help watch over the rest of us, while we continue the fight you started...

I'm a mother of two boys and an officer in Las Vegas. I think of Sgt. Prendes everyday I patrol the streets of Las Vegas remembering the sacrifice he made and how it makes me a better officer.
I wonder when I'm working sometimes- "will this be the day". I think every officer has thought that from time to time.
Thank you Searge for making me a better officer for my boys!!!! I miss you and didn't even know you.
