Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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"

We tread the path others turn from. We head toward the danger when others flee. We have honour and pride in our role. We are committed and dedicated to the communities we serve. We stand and face those who seek to destroy our homes and families.

We are flesh and blood. At times we are weak and vulnerable. We are a family and when we lose a family member we hurt, we grieve and we cry. We, like you, are human.

Yet we stand strong, shoulder to shoulder and will lay our lives down for our colleagues. Integrity and honesty underpin our values.

Without fear or favour we will continue our duty and carry the memory of our fallen colleagues and the traditions of the service with us.

May they rest in peace.
