I was surprised to hear of the death of Officer Hofer. I used to live in Euless, I am a former LEO in the county where Euless is located (Tarrant County), my branch office was formerly in Euless and my supervisory security duties run me through Euless all the time. I interact with Euless PD all the time and I appreciate the work they do although I doubt I've ever said it aloud. We're pretty much patrol cars passing in the night or working the same accident scene. R.I.P. Officer Hofer and safe shift to the Euless PD.

We all know the possibility exists that when we suit up everyday that we may not come home. But its the strength we get from our brotherhood in blue that keeps us going. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and brother officers.

Officer Hofer: With a heavy heart and a bowed head, I pay tribute to your selfless public service to the Euless, Texas community. My wife's elementary school only a few blocks away was protected by you and your team of police officers who came to the call of duty. We are simply numb by your loss to us. May your sweet family, friends and professional colleagues find a wellspring of healing, comfort and peace in the coming weeks and months. May our Lord Jesus hold you in His Loving Arms. We are already missing you. Phil 3:12-14

Dave was a good friend and we were cops together in New York City. He was a very special person and brought joy to the lives of everyone he encountered. The wold is now a lesser place.

A PART OF AMERICA DIED....

Somebody killed a policeman today .... And a part of America died…. A piece of our country he swore to protect .... Will be buried with him at his side.... The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,.... Just as if he had gone off to war, .... Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast .... To his name they will add a gold star.... The suspect that shot him will stand up in court .... With counsel demanding his rights,.... While a young widowed mother must work for her kids .... And spend many long, lonely nights... .. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today…. Maybe in your town or mine,.... While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.... A cop put his life on the line.... Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, .... And he stands at each new rookie's side; .... He answered the call… of himself gave his all,.... And a part of America died.

Rest in Peace Officer Hofer.
