All the officers on ODMP have their own heartbreaking story-but this one-is beyond comprehension-it is a different world out there for our Peace Officers. No conscience, no morals, heartless, absolutely heartless.

To Constable Bailey's family, friends and co-workers-We are holding you close in our hearts and wish we could ease your pain.

43 yrs of dedicated service, and then lose life to some scumbags. May god bless you and your family through such tragic times. You are a true HERO and we will never forget. Stay watch over us Brother, and may you R.I.P.

The policeman stood and faced his 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, 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 is 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 just bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help
though at times 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 judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman.
You've borne you burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets.
You've done your time in Hell"

I wish to thank the family of Constable Bailey for sharing this man with the law enforcement community all these years. A man who was not afraid to mix it up. I hope the five cowards burn in hell.

It makes me sick to my stomach that there are subjects (they are not humans) in the world like theses.
My thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and co-workers of Constable Bailey. He paid the ultimate sacrifice in order to make our world a better place.
I am so grateful for his service and dedication. Heros are never forgotten. Rest in peace.

The Final Inspection


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.
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've 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 times 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've never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It need not be so grand.
I've never expected or had too much.
But, If you don't I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the thrown
Where Saints have often trod.
As the Policeman waited quietly
For the judgement from 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."

Thank you Constable Bailey for all that you did. You chose to protect and serve when others chose not to ... there is something to be said for that. You paid the ultimate sacrifice. You are remembered and loved. You are in a better place than we are. God Bless you and yours.
