On January 13, 2010, the members of the Pennsylvania State Police and the law enforcement community as a whole lost one of our Brothers. My prayers go out to Trooper Richey's wife and children. I have the utmost respect for Trooper Richey for being a "Soldier of The Law" and giving his own life "Rather than Swerve from the path of Duty". Let not one of us as his brother forget this hero's great sacrifice. Rest in Peace Brother.

To the family/friends and co-workers of Trooper Paul Richey: This is a terrible tragedy and I honestly grieve for your loss. Police work today is incredibly dangerous because of the way some people choose to live-violently and without moral standards. Your loved one is to be honored for and remembered for his bravery and commitment to protecting the public. I regret that he has made the ultimate sacrifice doing his duty. He has a high place of honor for doing so.

May Trp. Richey's wife and children feel the love, care and respect of all those whose paths they cross in the days to come. These heroes touch so many lives in their careers in so many different ways, should we ever meet them, may we all touch the lives of their loved ones, even if ever so slightly, in a positive manner.
