The Policeman's Last Roll Call....

The Policeman stood and faced his god, which must always come to pass. He
hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. "Step foward
now Policeman. How shall I deal with you ? Have you always turned the other
cheek? To my church have you been true ?"

The Policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I haven't.
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a Saint. I've had to
work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been
violent because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that
wasn't mine to keep, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just
got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with
fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept many unmanly tears. I know I
don't deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around anyways,
except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me Lord, it needn't be so
grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."

There was silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As
the policeman waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. "Step forward
now, policeman, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's
streets, you've done your time in hell."

Dearest Evelyn,

As a career police officer I look at this website almost every day. It reminds me of my good fortune and also of the unflinching devotion of others.
We never met, but we know each other through the badge. All my love, respect, and prayers to you.

I visit this site, because of my great admiration for the police. They have assisted me many times, and, I am grateful. Evelyn, scripture says; "blessed are the peacemakers." You will always be remembered here, for what you are, and what you stood for. Rest now, with the Savior! I we meet each other when I get to the other side.

I just wanted to let you know that I miss you so... much and think of you "every" day. I miss your laugh, your smile and your smell. Most of I miss having my mom. I love you and know that you are with me and everyone you love. You are greatly missed!

Detective Gort, your courage under fire, and your bravery on this day is unequalled and unsurpassed.
You stood for everything that was good and just and your crusade is now in Heaven.
You will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
You are missed and you will not be forgotten.

Retired police officer.

"Evelina",
It seems like just yesterday we were saying goodbye in your driveway. No, I had no idea those would be that last words we would exchange.
You are always with me when I am in my patrol car, my guardian angel. I just want to say thank you for your friendship and for looking after me all these years. I have heard your voice during several encounters and I firmly believe it was you keeping me safe.
You are my hero and "the wind beneath my wings". Your friend and partner forever, Jennifer
