I just finished listening to a classic Dragnet episode from 1949, and the telling of Deputy Sheriff Cramer's awesome sacrifice near the end.

More than 83 years have passed since this brave Police Officer's death, but may he always be honored and remembered.

RIP, Deputy Sheriff John R. Cramer.

It’s 8/29/22 and I just listened to an old episode of Dragnet on Sirius. At the end of the episode the announcer mentioned Officer John Cramer of El Paso. I looked him up to see what happened. Rest In Peace Deputy Cramer.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 72ndanniversary 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 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.

Rest In Peace

God bless you my brother officer who died in the line of duty with the same name as me. I googled my name and found the article on the murder of a brother Law Officer. It has been 66 years since your passing and may the lord cuddle you in his arms. When I retire maybe I will come to Texas and apply for the El Paso County Sheriff's Dept. Love your brother officer #6296.
