Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Vernon Matthew Williams

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Williams' family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Sheriff Deputy A.V. Carpenter. All of your COPS family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members go down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.

On behalf of my family, squad, and department, we send our most sincere regrets for your loss. Words will never describe the cowardly acts of those who take the lives of our brothers and sisters. For those who won't show their face, God knows what you look like.
