Reflections for Police Officer Rolando Alberto Tirado

I responded to Chris' call for help. It always hurts to loose a brother, but this hit close to home. My heart goes out to your Wife and Kids Bro, and to your fellow Buckeye Officers. You will be dearly missed. Go easy man.

I worked this off duty assignment numerous times with Rolando. To put it simply he was awesome to work with. He was very professional and courteous to all in the performance of his duties. Yet he had a sense of humor that was second to none. The Buckeye Police Department has definitely lost a great Police Officer. I will miss you my brother and thank you once again for always having my back.

"A Policeman was killed last night"

A policeman was killed last night.
He died while protecting your rights.
His creed was to protect and serve.
This fate he didn't deserve.

A mom and dad have lost a son.
So many other jobs he could've done.
His wife and kids are left alone.
Their daddy won't be coming home.

His fellow officers are hurt so deep.
For a fallen brother they weep.
The morning paper will print a story.
About a policeman who died in glory.

The flags will fly at half mast.
Politicians and citizens will seem sad.
The funeral is tomorrow at noon.
It will all be over very soon.

By next week they will have forgot.
That a policeman was killed last night.

RIP my brother Rolando Tirado. Thank you for your service and dedication to your country and the Buckeye Police Department. You will not be forgotten.

Sergeant Joseph Robinson
Buckeye PD

Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.
