On behalf of the 68 dedicated volunteers associated with POINT 27 across the United States, we would like to offer condolences for Police Officer Joshua Briese. Please know we are eternally grateful for Joshua’s service and his ultimate sacrifice.
To honor Police Officer Briese, POINT 27 sent 27 Thin Blue Line Dog Tag Necklaces, engraved with “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they will be called children of God” Matthew 5:9, to the Gila River Police Department in Sacaton, Arizona for Joshua’s partner and his fellow officers. POINT 27 also sent a Folded Flag Necklace engraved with “Greater Love has no one than this; than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend” John 15:13 for Police Officer Joshua Briese’s family.
POINT 27 is a Non-Profit organization with a mission to strengthen and encourage members of the Armed Forces, First Responders, and their families, by sharing scripture on Dog Tags and Jewelry called Shields of Strength.
We will never forget and we are forever grateful.

Having met Josh at Az Corrections Alhambra unit I knew immediately he was going places and would soon become a Police Officer. He had the drive and spirit to follow in his father's footsteps. Who could forget his bright smile and sense of humor. He's with his father now and in a better place.
