Officer French, our Lord took you back to Himself as your life had only begun for reasons known to Him alone. He will reward you abundantly. My heart breaks for the grief your mother is experiencing over the loss of her daughter. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

I did not know officer French but through the media. My eldest brother was a CPD officer. Recently retired along with my sister in-law recently retired. Through the endless prayers that went out for them when they went to serve this city is a toll on family. But I just wanted to say. She exemplified a good and courageous human being. My families prayers go out to her family in this time of mourning and through the strength and mercy of God. They will conquer this pain. May God bless Ella and her family for her service and kindness in a community that truly will miss her spirit.

Sad to hear of the loss of this officer and the injuries suffered by the other officers that evening. Judges are part of the reason we are losing so many Police Officers and civilians to violence. They need to lock up violent criminals and stop releasing them on parole or probation. Judges and parole boards are out of touch with reality. By putting politics before public safety, they endanger us all. I served 2 decades with the Buffalo NY Police dept.during the 1990's into the 2000's and violent felons were released early, then, leaving us to deal with them. 2 of our officers were shot and killed because of those actions. That practice needs to stop NOW. God Bless you officer French.

Thirty years as a police officer on the line, now retired, and still every time I hear that an officer has gone down in the line, regardless of their department or uniform, it’s personal to me. I’ve lost another close family member, a brother or sister. During my time on the job I came to understand a simple fact about being a police officer. To the family, friends, and coworkers of Police Officer Ella French, I wish to offer my deepest condolences along with this fact.
“There are men & women in our society that choose to wear a badge, to put their lives in harms way every day too protect their communities. They stand silently in a line of defense, but will, in a split second, step into the line of fire for another. It’s not something they DO, It’s something they ARE”.
Having stood in that line myself, with this fact understood, I lost my sister, Ella French, as she did her job, going into harms way to protect her community.
And I know…..ITS WHO SHE WAS!

GOD Bless, GOD Speed & Semper Fi Ofc. French
