Reflections for Officer Adolph Conic

It's always a tragedy to see or hear about an officer who has fallen in the line of duty. It amplifies when one is so young in the career, we look back at what they could've become. RIP and I am certain for many it seems like yesterday. Salute!

My name is Patricee Conic, and I am the daughter of Adolph Conic. I appreciate all of the love and respect that you all have shown my father. He passed when I was 9 years old, and even though I don't remember much, I do remember how important it was to him that I receive a good education. After I graduated high school, I chose to attend the University of Central Arkansas and I received my Bachelor's in Family and Consumer Science. My father was a wonderful man, and he left a legacy that our town cherishes to this day...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 20th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

"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 whos 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.

I first learned of your sacrifice
while doing my field training for my department. My field training officer told me of your story and showed me the plaque that hangs on your dept wall. You are not forgotten. My training officer did not forget you and felt it was important for me to know your sacrifice. Even though I work on the other side of the state, I will always remember you and the service you gave to all. REST IN PEACE BROTHER.
