End of Watch: 04/20/2013
Such a terrible waste. Such a heart wrenching shame for one of my Brothers of the Badge..
Having spent 21 years with GCSO and retiring in 2005 from the SO, I find myself seeing the many times that situations could have turned out the same in my career at GSO, and the careers of the good men and women that I had the great fortune to work beside.
My heart feels much pain in the result of the actions of such a person who caused this.
