Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

I will miss your Kaz stories and hilarious radio traffic. We lost a great Trooper, a great friend and our area will never be the same. We will do our best to push on with you gone but make no mistake you will always be in our thoughts and memories. My deepest sympathies go out to your family and friends.

P.S.- On all future ACO complaints I will utilize W.W.P.D. (what would Paul do) in your honor.

Godspeed....
