Officer Cross was a dedicated and professional Police Officer. I know because I worked side by side with him, on two different teams, in the Red Dog Unit. He was the kind of officer that did it the right way and gave 110%. I will miss him, Red Dog will miss him, APD will miss him. To the members of Red Dog, I wish I could be with you now, to comfort and to mourn. You all are in my thoughts. I left the unit, but the unit never leaves you.

To his family, you have my deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for your loss.
