Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Shaft, You will be missed by the law enforcement family. Your big smile and firm handshake everytime we saw each other in court or at the barrack is something I will never forget. When you were K-9, you were always there when needed for my agency and I always admired your willingness to help out a municipality. You were truly meant to do this job and you have now answered God's call for service. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends, and our fellow brothers and sisters of the MSP. R.I.P. brother.

REMEMBER ME
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
IT IS IN DEATH THAT WE CAN LIVE FOREVER
