O God of Peace, so many law enforcement officers who are on the front lines to protect us never make it back home to their families. We pray for these fallen law enforcement officers, Lord God, who gave their lives for us. We pray for the families of these heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved one. Lord God, society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. We approach Your throne of glory and grace to beg of You for peace. Lord God, bring peace to this land – the United States of America. We plead for Your divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Stop the violence that occurs amid our cities. We thank You for all the law enforcement officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You send an everlasting peace so that our law enforcement officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus, Your blessed Son, I pray. Amen.

I know Domestic Disputes are one of the most Dangerous! Tactics need to change to Prevent this.. The Public should be advised if you're involved in a Dispute that you will be asked to step-out with Hands Up, you Don't comply, an agent will be administered into the Residency. Children must be vacated!! Drones should aid in Security! Then the Approach can be made safely! Senseless Loss today...Thank You Senior Officer Sherman!! Can we Elevate The Status to Corporal Please!!
