“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

To the family, friends and co-workers my prayers are with you. I wish there was something I could say that would help you, but as we all know there is nothing. The one thing that I focused on was knowing that Clint loved being a police officer. And I bet Joseph loved it also.
Commander Goldsmith your family will miss you everyday, but we will never forget you.
Commander Goldsmith, look Clint up for me, tell him that his mother misses him every minute..

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Goldsmith Family and the deputies and staff of the Apache County Sheriff's Department over the tragic loss of Commander Joseph Goldsmith. Once again a brother officer has been taken from the thin blue line. May God bless the Goldsmith Family and the deputies and staff of the Apache County Sheriff's Department during this sad time. May our brother Joseph rest in peace. Joseph will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!
