Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"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."

From one GSP handler to another, rest in peace brother. I'll be praying for your loved ones.

My prayers are with the family of Officer Rose and Wayne State public Safety/ DPD. I graduated from Wayne State in 1981 in Criminal Justice. I remember WSU Public Safety as so very professional and helpful. I am a corrections officer for Michigan Dept of Corrections since 1987, and am at Marquette Branch Prison. In this difficult time we need to lean on our faith. Not for why it happened , but rather for support during this difficult time. Remember you remain in my prayers. Romans8:28
