Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On the second anniversary of Officer Dia’s death, I reflect on his humanity and love for his job, community and family. My son has wanted to protect and serve since he was 2 years old. He turned 14 two days ago and still wants to serve and protect, just like Officer Dia. My son wanted to visit his grave after the incident, so we took him to pay his (and our) respects and met his father while we were there. Thank you for being a role model for others, even in passing. Officer Dia will always be loved by the community and never forgotten

Tony, though our paths did not pass much on the job, I have learned so much about you, and wish we would have worked more together. The words you wrote down in your letter were so compelling, and truly spoke to me and many others. Know that your wife and sons will be taken care off. You will never be forgotten. Rest easy now, and know we will take it from here. Thank you for being there to welcome Brandon home. You both were with us for such short periods of time, but your impacts have been immeasurable. Say hello to Keith and Kevin for me.

There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said about Officer Dia. He made the ultimate sacrifice. It was not in vain. It was in serving his community and making it a safer place. But know, all of you that read these comments. That the majority of “We The People” do support you men and women who put on that uniform, and like you, would step into harms way to protect you should the need arise. The physical attacks on you MUST stop. The verbal attacks in you by the Left MUST stop. If you’re ever under attack and hear another gun enter the fight, it just might be mine trying to stop the same threat you are. Stay Safe. Watch your six. Know that we’re watching it too....
