Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Ozark Law brought a new perspective into reality television in that the officers in the show were invited into our homes on a weekly basis and I find it hard to articulate, but there is a feeling of familiarity/family.
Phylicia Carson was an original, she portrayed law enforcement with heart, compassion, and professionalism. The immeasurable loss to her family, friends, co-workers is unimaginable. Her faith in Christ is the only salve for her loss. Blessings to all, and may her memory live on!

My heart goes out to Officer Carson’s family. The show showed the world how Police officers truly are and Officer Carson showed that you could be a compassionate officer and have flair.
Even though I only knew her through the TV I wish there were more of her in policing.
Thank you for your service and hopefully more officers take your lead.

My deepest condolences to the family of Officer, Carson. I just watched the final episode. I had recorded it. When I read the description, I was afraid to watch it, because I had gotten so attached to all of the offices. I was so afraid to know who it actually was. To find out that it's Officer Felicia, I am weeping like I've lost a family member. She seemed to be an amazing officer, mother, friend and wife. Thank you for your kindness. Rest in peace, Officer Carson.

My husband and I just watched the last show of Ozark Law. We were so shocked and saddened of the outcome of Officer Carson. She was one of our favourites, with her pink accessories. Our condolences to Grant and her children.

I became aware of Officer Carson by watching Ozark Law. She seemed to be an incredible person, so kind. My heart breaks for her family and the officers she worked with. I'm a surviving spouse of an officer at the Murfreesboro Police Department (TN) and I know how deeply this affects everyone. RIP Officer Carson.

I just watched the episode of Ozark Law and learned of your passing. I couldn't help but sob. I know all too well of what the passing of a great LEO feels like and I don't wish it upon anyone. I know that my dear friend, Shane Britton EOW 07/19/2000 was there to welcome you home. My thoughts and prayers go out to your husband, 6 beautiful babies and to all of your brothers and sisters in blue. May you rest in peace, dear sister!

My condolences go out to Osage Beach Police Department and to the family and friends of Officer Phylicia Carson. It just broke my heart when I was watching Ozark Law "End of Watch" Episode. I had a hard time understanding why this happened to her.

I first saw Officer Phycilia Carson when I started watching Ozark Law. I immediately connected with her because of her pink blinged out in car computer and her pink hand cuffs. She was a sweetheart when it came to dealing with people and always offering a way out of taking them to jail. She had such a light about her and she spoke often of her husband who was also in law enforcement in the neighboring county. She spoke of her 6 children which I share in common with 6 children grandchildren. During the last episode when she joined in a pursuit of an illegal drag racer who crashed into the guardrail. It was then when the officer who arrested the driver that I noticed him continue to ask about Officer Carson. When he couldn’t raise her he knelt and prayed. It was shortly after we were informed it was our sweet Phylicia who had perished. I broke down in tears as I thought of her infectious smile, her husband and her children. God needed a good officer and mother in heaven to take care of the other fallen officers, children and babies who went to heaven before her. I pray for her husband, her children and her fellow law enforcement family. She will be so very missed. As a retired firefighter/paramedic I’ve dealt many times with accidents involving law enforcement and those I knew. My heart goes out to all of you. May God give you strength, comfort and peace during these difficult times.

My wife and I were big fans of Ozark Law! We loved watching Officer Carson on there. Our hearts were broken learning that she had passed away in that fatal car accident.

May God heal the hearts of her family, friends, friends, and her fellow LEO’s brothers and sisters.

RIP P/O Carson

The loss of Officer Carson is without doubt heartbreaking for her family and community and also many of us who were blessed to “meet” her through Ozark Law. We may be strangers, but her candor and obvious love for her family and community endeared her to us quickly. It was a real joy to watch her work and see her desire to serve and protect . She was an admirable, down to earth example not just for women, but all who serve. I’m sure she will be sorely missed. Prayers for her family and her fellow officers.

Officer Carson was truly amazing. My wife truly loved her kindness, her humility, and yes, her pink handcuffs (pink is her favorite color).

We both cried at the loss of Officer Carson. As a family of law-enforcement and military we know the utter loss that one feels with the passing of a friend. We never knew her in person, but we feel like we got to know her through Ozark Law.

Our hearts go out to the Ozark PD, her family, and our law enforcement brethren around the country.

God Speed, Officer Carson.

My heart goes out to all officers, her family and the community of lake Ozark and Osage Beach. I was in shock as I watched everything unfold and could t hold back the tears. To watch officer Riner stay professional while you could tell he was internally falling apart was so hard to watch. Everyone stay safe .

This was obviously a huge tragedy and shock to those of us who have become fans of Ozark Law and the great work these officers do. It was clear that Officer Carson was a big part of of O.B. and loved her work. Thank you for your service. I am so sorry that your End of Watch happened. It wasn't clear, due to the editing of the episode what exactly happened so as I'm on-line reading this account how ironic it is that this "fan" lives in Toronto (Canada) and this accident happened on Toronto Springs Creek Road. RIP Officer Carson.

I fell in love with Officer Carson and her pink pens and handcuffs and MDT watching Ozark Law. I was in complete shock when it dawned on me that the episode I was watching was 'End of Watch' and horrified to realize it was Officer Carson killed during the pursuit. I literally burst into tears and I didn't even know her. It was so obvious how much she loved the job and her coworkers loved her. I am sure she'll be sorely missed. May God continue to watch over Grant and their children and families.

We’ve been watching this show since it first aired. We were really impressed with all the officers but she was one of our favorites. We were watching the show tonight when we found out of her accident. It has really upset us both. Our prayers go out to her family and all her fellow officers. This is really sad.

We truly enjoyed watching Officer Carson and her interactions during the Ozark Law episodes. We loved hearing her speak about her large family. Looked forward to setting those pink cuffs! I just saw the episode of her passing and couldn’t contain the tears. Felt as if I knew her. I know her family will forever miss her and the community is missing a great officer! Rest easy Miss Phylicia “pinky” Carson❣️
