Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God Bless Christopher, his fiancee, and family. I sit here in tears, so sad at such a loss. My son is an officer, same age, engaged, and so dedicated to his job. I did not know you Chris, but I so admire you. You became a police officer, knowing all the risks, and still went out there and did your job. Thank you.

Chris, I can not believe what happened yesterday. Someone had bigger plans for you than what you were doing, it sucks because we all hurt and preferred to have you with us here. I will miss those smart comments, and sarcastic remarks. Thanks for the time you spent with us. We had a good time. See ya when I see ya.

I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like nearly everyday I get an alert that another police officer has been killed.
It is so sad that the men and women who put their life on the line to protect and serve cannot be respected, some idiot has to come along and take it all away.
I live my dream of being a police officer through all of those who put that gun and badge on everyday to try and make this world a better place.
Thank you officer Matlosz for the sacrifice that you made, you will always be in my heart, and your family also and in my prayers.

It saddens and sickens me to think about the current state of affairs in our own cities and towns. I would love to increase our interior defense units on the streets one hundred fold. I would love to see a policeman on every corner in every town and city across this great country of ours. We need to invest in us, the USA. Can we get funding please to make sure that no officer goes out alone, ever? I personally do not have any problem with arming these brave warriors to the teeth...automatics, kevlar bodysuits from head to toe. I am in tears over someone who I did not know; and I feel for those closest to him....family, friends, fellow officers. Please turn your sorrow into positive energy when you are ready so that we can start to initiate change in the status quo. I can be found through [email protected] I will and can be a very powerful voice and supporter.

My deepest condolences.

NJ POLICE OFFICER

January 15, 2011

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the 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 an unmanly tear.
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 silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

Chris, you were an inspiration to me when I was a rookie officer in NJ. You were always one to offer advice and guidance. May you now rest in peace, we got the beat from here brother.
