Rest In Peace

Lieutenant Meadows is a wonderful servant who served his country as a police officer and Army veteran. I had the pleasure of working next to him in the City of Leeds and Birmingham. No one ever had anything but praise for him. After the accident, it was amazing the number of friends we both shared in and out of law enforcement. I know he is celebrating with our savior!

My deepest sympathy to all of your loved ones and friends. Continue to watch over all of your loved ones and those officers still out on patrol. I only wish you could have retired and spent the well deserved time with your family that you gave up protecting others. You will never be forgotten as you are a true hero.

The death of Lt. Mark Meadows makes me mad. Too many drivers are not looking ahead when officer is Putting down cones, with his car flashing, while in Uniform.
My thought prayer is with his family and to his family of Officer.

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.
