Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Trooper, may you rest in peace. You surely saved lives by your presence; or the position of your cruiser. For me, a total senseless death or sacrifice. So extremely sad . My immediate thoughts are of your family, friends, and Fellow Troopers. I know the risk. How many hundreds of times have I covered collision scenes like you did. So very sad your sacrifice; your loss... RiP Brother in blue.
