Courtney,
Well its sad to say my brother but our worse fear that night came true. We are fighting tooth and nail so no other Truck Checker (CVSU) has to be put in those conditions EVER AGAIN!!!! The scary part is that it could have been any one of us that night. You being the type of person you are always willing to help any of your boys out took the ultimate sacrifice for us that night. TRUST ME that night at the hospital I voiced OUR concerns and believe you me that night's outcome will never have the opportunity to come again. Your Men & Women in Blacks are pulling together and are going to make you proud over the next few days. Do me a favor watch out for any clipboards up there if you know what I mean (10/31). LOL

One last thing without mentioning any names the six you helped out that night we will never forget. You will be in our hearts forever.

Thanks for protect and serve our community, my condolences to Maryland Police Dept.
Life of a Police Ofc.
You talk about the street gangs; kids killing kids.
You talk about the drugs; people selling,
taking and OD'ing.

You talk about the accidents and DUI's:
People dead and dying... I still hear the cries.
You talk about the Rapes; children, mothers,
wives and sons.

You talk about the murders; brains, guts,
death and blood.

All these things you talk about like
they are happening somewhere else.
All these things you talk about like they
are wars in other worlds.

You see these things like a movie,
or read them like a book.
We live them every day and are still
expected to smile when you look.

You read the papers and you watch the news.
You think that Horror movies are cool.
We live this horror every day; the kids killing kids,
drugs, accidents, murders and rapes.

We see these things every day; parents beating children,
husbands beating wives, people killing people,
deaths and DUI's.

To us this is life and we have to remain strong;
because we are the ones that you come to
when something in your life goes drastically wrong.

You see we wear a uniform, though
Though we are not all in the military.
We are a special breed of soldier.

We don't fight in the wars between countries.
We fight to keep ourselves and our Partners alive,
so that we can go home each night to our
husbands, children and wives.

We fight to stay alive while protecting you and yours.
We see our brothers and sisters in blue die each day
by your hand or their own, when they see no way to cope.

And then we try to fight the nightmares
when it is time for us to go home.
We are Police Officers, and this is our life.

Courtney, I do not even know where to start. I got the phone call, early that morning and I was sickened. I layed there in bed and prayed that this was only a dream. When I awoke and went to work, You were the first thing I asked about, and it was true. I will miss your smile and the way that you always seemed to make people laugh NO MATTER WHAT. You had a great sense of humor and a wonder look on life. I am blessed to know and work with you. My thoughts and prayers to out to your family. Your brothers and sisters in blue will miss you. THANK YOU!! We Will Take It From Here. Just watch over us and protect us.

See Ya Soon MY Friend!!
