Reflections for Chief Probation Officer Lucile M. Myers
Today is Monday February 23, 2023 and as I watch the funeral procession of a recently fallen Beech Grove Police Officer - I stumbled upon this page. I was wondering how many public safety officers have passed away in the line of duty - and was astonished that there were over 500.
As I searched several stories of fallen heroes, your story caught my eye. A True-Trailblazer indeed. I push for women in roles like this, back in 1926 certainly lifts your name high on the list of female heroes!
With the upcoming 100th anniversary of your passing - I just want to say, "Thank You!" I wish people would understand that the Lord has placed Angels as yourself on this earth to help and protect. The fact that you were concerned enough to inquire and follow-up on a tip received about children who were living in deplorable conditions - shows the true outline of your heart! Thank you! And I hope and pray that you have received a golden crown!

It's now been 96 years.
Chief Meyers, you put yourself at risk for the sake of children in need and you are a hero for that as well as all the work you did. You are also a hero because you were a pioneer for women in law enforcement. Though it's not known if your murderer was ever caught, I pray he faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.
Sister, thank you for your service. May God Bless you and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
And I acknowledge your son's courage and know God had him with you for a reason, though that horrible tragedy must have haunted him all his life. I don't know what happened to your offspring, but I hope and pray they followed your example and did good things.

You were a pioneer in law enforcement and a true advocate for those who so desperately needed one. Though it's not known if the father was ever captured, no doubt he faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.
God Bless you Sister and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
