We are deeply saddened by this officer's fate. We trust that the Lord will care for his Wife, Children, Family, Friends and Fellow Officers during this time.

May you rest in peace my friend. Another good officer dead, and all he was trying to do is help someone in need. Maybe this will shed some light on what Correctional Officers do and continue to do. Maybe the laws will change to where we not only get the training needed to become peace officers but also the right to carry the protection needed to protect ourselves and other citizens.
