TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL, TROOPER MICHAEL SLAGLE.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Trooper.
We in the law enforcement community are a family.
Though we may wear different uniforms and have different badges, shields, or stars pinned upon our chest.
We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, county roads and state highways.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a law enforcement family, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will SERVE and PROTECT our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of GOOD over EVIL facing the unknown with COURAGE keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for LAW ENFORCEMENT is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do........SERVING and PROTECTING your community with HONOR and PRIDE making a better and safer place for us all.

FINAL CALL
TROOPER SLAGLE STATUS........TROOPER SLAGLE STATUS........TROOPER SLAGLE STATUS........
ATTENTION ALL UNITS........TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL, TROOPER MICHAEL SLAGLE HAVING SERVED THE CITIZENS IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE WITH HONOR, PRIDE AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!

Dear family and friends of Trooper Michael Slagle,

I'm sorry for the loss of your loved one. No words can cure the hole in your hearts that you have during this time and will have in the future. He was special to you. Only with God's love and grace through time, will the pain become less burdensome. I want to thank you for the job that he did to look after the safety and well-being of those of us who travel our state's highways and interstates. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

In Christ,
