Well tomorrow is the Police and Peace Officer Memorial Day. I am heading up to Edmonton in an attempt to attend the ceremony and then participate in a few days of street survival training. This weeks posting is not an article but instead a Poem by Lt. Dan Marcou (ret.) and a video created by the Calgary Police Service

"Killed in the Line of Duty"

They always knew they could be
They never thought they would be
God knows none ever should be
Killed in the line of duty

Some made their final stand
Their profession’s last demand
They fell with gun in hand
Killed in the line duty

A routine to many a cop
Some made one final stop
Someone’s Mom or Pop
Killed in the line of duty

Others answered one last call
To a robbery, theft, or brawl
They arrived only to fall
Killed in the line of duty

Some were dressed in brown, some blue
Some in gray, and plain clothes too
Some were dressed like me and you
Killed in the line of duty

May their souls be forever blessed
For they who are now at rest
Died doing what they loved best
Killed in the line of duty

Forgotten they never could be
Forgotten they never should be
Thought they never would be
Killed in the line of duty

God bless all those who fell
They are missed and loved so well
Let us pray and toll the bell
Those killed in the line of duty

Amen



Stay Safe,

Chris
