I had the honor of attending the MNPD academy with Officer Petrina. Even when things were incredibly tough and most of us were exhausted and emotionally drained, Michael was energetic and used that energy to motivate each of us to push through and succeed. Michael's family, our agency, our city, and the entire law enforcement community is truly and irreparably lessened by his loss.

A very sad, but sincere thank you, Officer Petrina, for your dedicated law enforcement service of only eight months and for your service with the Tennessee National Guard. May God bless and be with you, your loving family and those who were touched by your life, the Metro Nashville Police Department, and the Tennessee National Guard. May you rest in heavenly peace, Sir!

"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."
