Did you know a Police Officer died last night?
Just another Cop who gave his life
Another story to fill the news
Another funeral with a sea of blue

We know that he did not want to leave
Now his brothers, sisters & family grieve
They'll lay to rest their brother with tears
A pain that will last for the rest of their years

And others will come to honor this Cop
Who in spite of the risks, would never stop
"To Serve & Protect" were just not words written as art
It was part of his soul, his body, his heart

The real pain that's felt by those left behind
Comes from the fact many people don't mind
That this hero was killed fighting for us
"He's just a cop, it's his job, why all the fuss?"

He was there when you needed, there when you called
Never asked you for praise or to thank him at all
So he's just a cop, risking his life
Catches a bullet or gets stuck with a knife

To those who say that it's just a cop's life
Did you ever stop to think, did he have a wife?
Or maybe a boy and a little girl too
Waiting for Dad who promised a trip to the Zoo

They watched out the door, with smiles and cheer
Waiting for daddy who soon should be there
But instead of his smile, come three somber cops
As they walk towards the house time suddenly stops

He won't be coming home to them anymore
Still they stand and stare out the front door
Saying My Dad was a cop…but why did he have to die?
He was kind, he was funny, just a really nice guy

No it wasn't just a cop who was killed last night
A part of us all died when they shut down his light
When it happens again, we all know that it will
Take a second to think, for a moment be still

If not for that cop, where would we be
Afraid of our shadow, not one of us free
Was the guy who just died special or not?
Yeah he sure was, …Just a Husband, a Father, a Hero, a COP.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid, you see.

I took his hand when I heard his call.
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, he set me free.

It is heart breaking to hear of any brother or sister who is taken from us in the line of duty and my prayers go out to the family, loved ones and members of CPD as well. CPD must close ranks and remember that we do not only do this job for ourselves nor just for the citizens we serve but we do the job for all who have come before and loved this profession. We do the job for those who can no longer stand with us because they stand in us.

God Bless

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Detective Shivers, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

I still can not believe all this is reality. We were just joking around on duty and a short time later you were gone. This department and our community lost a really great officer and friend. You loved your job, were always positive and friendly and I never heard you say anything negative about anyone. You will be greatly missed and your family will always be in my prayers.

As soon as I heard of the tragic Incident last Thursday, my heart sunk. I hate to hear of the loss of another person in blue. My thought and prayers go out to the Chesapeake PD family and especially Det. Shivers' wife and children.

To Det. Shivers' wife and children, embrace the love and support that the law enforcement family has to give. It is overflowing and never ending. always know that you guys are continuously lifted up in prayer.

Det. Shivers,
Everyday, you put your safety above that of others and gave your life doing so. For that, you will forever be a hero.

Rest in peace my brother.

No words can express the depth of my sympathy as no words can be used to make sense of this tragedy. Jarrod was truly an angel on earth, serving both his country & his city, always giving of himself for others. Nicole & children, know that he was a hero, he was loved & will be missed deeply. We are with you, we are praying for you & thinking of you always.
