On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Police Officer Garrett Hull and the extended law enforcement family of the Fort Worth Police Department, Texas.

End of Watch Friday, September 14, 2018.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I pray for peace & healing for your family, friends, and coworkers during this tragic time. May they seek their healing in the Lord, and His most righteous mercy.

I wish I’d been there with you at that fateful moment-we would’ve taken this guy down together, or I’d have fallen beside you. I’ve been in a very similar situation before, and by God’s grace, the bullets missed me.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Salute.

Officer Hull is a hero. I am praying for his family and the Fort Worth Police Department. I am eternally grateful for Officer Hull's service to our citizens and community in my hometown. I am deeply saddened and angry that he lost his life because of the scum and evil thugs in our city. Officer Hull will never be forgotten he is truly one amazing hero, a good man that sacrificed everything earthly to uphold justice and good. I am proud to have learned of his life and legacy. My heart holds his wife, daughters, and his family in prayer for God's mighty hand to supply all their needs from comfort to strength to overcoming this pain. Thank you Officer Hull and family for your sacrifice.
