All LEO lives matter beyond most of the general public perception before and after they have resolved their crisis.

Trooper Clardy, you served our country with immense pride and the citizens of MA. You work here is now done and the Almighty Chief has called you to Headquarters to serve a higher power than we all will ever know.

You family has sacrificed much with all that you have accomplished in the Marines and as a State Trooper. May you be by their sides each day forward and more than just a memory.

Tradition - Honor - Respect

I cannot and will not try to match the words written by Senior Master Investigator Dobbins on this site. I can only say, Trooper, thank you for your service, as brief as it truly was. Watching the motorcade that brought you to Boston stopped me in my tracks. You will forever be missed, but you will forever remain in the hearts and minds of all who know and love you, and all who wish they did.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE, TROOPER THOMAS CLARRY I.D.#3090.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Trooper.
We in the law enforcement community are a family, although our uniforms may be a different style and vary in color, a badge, shield or star may be pinned upon our chest.
Our areas of enforcement may vary but our goals are the same, to serve and protect our communities. We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are: Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Police Officers, College Campus Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state prisons, county jails, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, the thin blue line of protectors, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families.
Daily our position is clear that we will Serve and Protect our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of good over evil facing the unknown with courage keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
BLUE LIVES MATTER - If we don't respond to that call for help, or investigate that suspicious subject, or stop for that stranded motorist, or rush to that call of shots fired then who will?
TROOPER CLARDY
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in the State of Massachusetts with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I'm proud to have worn the uniform of a law enforcement officer like you did.
I'm proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I'm proud to have served and protected my community as you did.
I'm proud to call you my Brother!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do.........Serving and Protecting your community with Honor and Pride making a better and safer place for us all.
FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT, "LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW".
FINAL CALL
Trooper Clardy status..........Trooper Clardy status............ Trooper Clardy status.............Attention All Units............. Massachusetts State Police, Trooper Thomas Clardy I.D. #3090 having served the citizens in the State of Massachusetts with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
