Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Having grown up in Toledo, it is especially painful to learn of this tragedy. My prayers are with Det Dressell's family. God's speed brother.

Reflections of an incident; Our prayers go out to the family of Detective Dressell and all the brave and dedicated officers who protect and serve our community. One nagging thought persist when I reflect on incidents like this . What if Detective Dressell would have shot the 15 year old? I can hear the controversy now. We should respect the job and the integrity of our officers and thank God they are there for us. Detective Dressell and all officers deserve our deepest respect and admiration.

Thank You and GOD BLESS his family.
