Reflections for Lead Police Officer Adam Buckner

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Officer Buckner, or as we always called you "Buck" and "Buck Buck", I remember our academy days of you pretending to not laugh at my jokes. I always had a joke of the day, and my mission was to make you laugh at the joke, no matter how stupid it was. You had a way of making everyone laugh and feel calm when you would talk with us. When we were doing extra PT after each academy day, you would always push our group to finish the workout to the best of our ability.

I remember you finally responding to our group text and we were all so excited that you responded. It was great catching up, even if it was brief. I'll forever hold our adventures in my memory, and you'll never be forgotten. Thank you for your service and, more importantly, thank you for being a friend.
