I have nothing but respect for those brave officers who are Correctional Officers. It takes a special breed of individual to be locked up all day with the worse of the worst to keep them away from the law abiding society. For that I thank all of you and especially Officer Baker. Know that you will never be forgotten as true heroes never die.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.
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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

As a female and a now retired officer of 20 years, I know the special threats faced (I was nearly a victim of an attempted homicide). To your family, I am so very sorry that they lost you at such a young age....you were clearly deeply loved. I know your son will always love you and be proud of your service.

Officer Baker,

Rest well in the arms of the Lord.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

Rest in Peace ! I have been a police officer for 16 years now.

I took a break from patrol for 3 months to work at a prison in Nashville. 3 months was all I could take. It's a very dangerous job with backup right outside the door, yet unable to help if anything hit the fan, due to trying to get doors opened. I don't claim to know the whole story but what happened is sad and I'm thank full for all those who work in the jail system for keeping people in that we catch.

Catching is at times the easy part. At least we have weapons......
