Dear Sheriff James L. Berrong:

I hope this reflection finds you well, though I understand it is an incredibly tough time for you, and everyone connected to your department. I am writing to extend my heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences for the loss of Deputy Sheriff Justin Bradford Mowery, a brave and dedicated lawman.

The news of Deputy Mowery’s death has deeply saddened me. The sacrifice that he made while protecting and serving your community is a testament to the selfless and courageous nature of law enforcement officers like him. We can never truly understand the risks and challenges faced by those in law enforcement, and we are forever indebted to them for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Mowery’s family and colleagues during this immensely challenging time. Their loss is immeasurable, and we can only hope that the outpouring of support from the community can offer some comfort in these trying times.

In times like these, we must remember the positive impact Deputy Mowery had on countless lives throughout his life and career. The memories of his dedication, kindness, and professionalism will remain etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

To you, Sheriff Berrong, and the entire Blount County Sheriff's Office, I want to express my gratitude for the vital work you do each day, often in the face of danger and adversity. The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty. Despite the risks, you continue to serve with integrity and unwavering commitment, and for that, we are immensely thankful.

Having served 45+ years as a Law Enforcement Professional, I stand with you during this time of mourning. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to support your fallen hero’s family, you, and your department during this difficult period.

May the memories of Deputy Sheriff Justin Bradford Mowery be a source of strength and may his legacy inspire others to follow in his footsteps of honor and service. We will forever be indebted to the sacrifice he made to keep us safe.

With deepest sympathy,

Chief of Police (retired) Don P. Jensen Sr.

God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families, friends, and comrades of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of the Lord Christ Jesus, and by His Power, His Authority, and His Sacrificial Blood, I believe and pray for America’s Fallen Peace Officers and all those left behind. Amen.

God’s Mission for Law Enforcement:
Lord God, we know from Romans 13:1-5 (TLB) that Law Enforcement Officers have a sacred task, to enforce laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty. We pray that You will protect them as they serve us. Give them wisdom, discernment, and a deep desire to serve You. Please surround every law enforcement officer in our land, the United States of America, with battalions of warring angels, under the command of Michael the Archangel, to protect them from harm and defend them from evil.

Please find Encouragement, Comfort, Support, and Hope from the following Scripture Verses found in “The Law Enforcement Officer’s Christian Standard Bible”:

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking: Who will I send? Who will go for us? I said: Here I am. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)

[Jesus taught]: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons [children] of God.” (Matthew 5:9)

[Jesus taught]: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

[Jesus taught]: “No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

“Even when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff - they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)

“Jesus said to her [Martha], “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.” (John 11:25)

“Hate evil and love good; establish justice at the city gate.” (Amos 5:15a)

“For he [God] will give his angels [Michael the Archangel and his warring angels] orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11)

In the Book of Revelation 12:7-9, we learn about Saint Michael the Archangel's famous battle against evil. This epic fight in heaven shows Michael the Archangel and his warring angels battling the dragon, Satan, and his fallen angels. They won, forcing Satan and his fallen angels out of heaven. This victory makes Michael the Archangel a strong protector against darkness. He is a great role model for law enforcement. He is the Patron Saint of Law Enforcement. Like Michael the Archangel, Law Enforcement Officers fight against evil, keeping communities safe and upholding justice.
