I'm honored to have the opportunity to learn about this officer's story and see how much of a positive impact he had on the world around him. I got to research this event as a topic of officer memorial project for my Criminal Justice class and I was able to understand and learn from Officer Arroyo to always be brave and have the courage to protect.

Officer Arroyo, you will be a hero forever! Your bravery and your service will never be forgotten. May God grant you your reward in heaven. May God grant your parents and loved ones comfort in their time of such great loss. I pray my daughter Officer Natalie Corona (EOW 1-19-2019) was there to greet you at the pearly gates.

Too young and a protector to the end. More men and women like you are needed. I would trade places with you in a heartbeat- loss of an officer is every Dispatcher's personal nightmare. Every loss is felt. My heart is with you and your family.

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.
