Most Recent Reflection
View all 27 ReflectionsSteven, I remember you so well. When I was assigned to Zone A Command you would come in and ask me question after question about being a Police Officer. At that time you were in PAL and I would let you sit at the front desk and help out. I always knew that you would make a fine Officer, and you did not disappoint us. I surely miss you hanging out at Zone A and our daily talks. Rest in Peace my Brother.
