Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Jared, I don't even know where to begin. You were so dedicated to Police Work, that you never even "took off" your badge in plain clothes. All of the acting in the world couldn't erase the fact that you were a cop; fair, dedicated, yet always smiling. I could hear your laugh all the way down the hall no matter which side your office was on. I can't believe I'll never hear it again. All I can do is think about how we walked out with you on Tuesday night and how excited you were to go to your first Nascar race. I'll miss teasing you about Star Wars and how you wouldn't even go out for a drink with us when we were in Denver because the hotel movie channel was re-playing it.... ALL WEEK! Until this time, I never met Natalie, but I felt as though I never had to with you singing her praises all of the time. Words can not express how deeply you will be missed in our office, but we know you will be seated next to St. Michael with our "eye" and "runnin' tin" for us in Heaven. Debbie, I can't even begin to describe what a wonderful person you are. You welcomed us into your home with a smile and open arms, telling us all to call you "Mom". Feeling your strength in such a time of sorrow has helped us all stand a little bit taller. Now I see where Jeff and Jared got their smiles. Jared, your deal is done, but we have a few more left to go. God Bless you, we will meet you at the PAL.

Rest easy Brother.

Albertville Police Department Albertville, Al

February 25, 2006

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

The Law Enforcement Prayer
by Dan Lovin
Our Father who art in Heaven
In a few minutes I will assume my daily beat.
Facing the unknow but being closer to Thee than ever before.
Halloweed be Thy name
Even in the face of death and crime, Thou art everywhere to guide me.
I will fear no evil.
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.
Thy will be done
Thy will, not mine shall be done.
Do not let me be selfish.
O Lord, if you choose to take me, let me die as a man in order that another man may live.
On earth as it is in Heavan
Let me be a guide here on earth to those who are misguided and lost.
Help me to help those who are in need of help in order that we all may be worthy of Thy Kingdom in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
Especially those who live in poverty and misery
And forgive us our trespasses
I am a sinner. O Lord let me never forget that I am no better than my fellow men.
Let me never forget that by Thy grace I am on the right side of the law.
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Forgive those who dispise me and the uniform which represents the law and order.
Forgive them for they do not know better.
I have forgiven them.
Lead us not into temptation
Make me strong for I am only human.
Deliver me from hate and jealousy and from wanting something I should not have in your eyes.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and glory
Let me be no judge or jury.
Let me be impartial.
Let me be just and fair.
Forever and ever, Amen.

J-Rod,

Words can not express the pain that I feel. You were an inspiration to us all of how to be a model officer. I cherish every moment that I got to serve in the same uniform as you. I will never forget the greasy lunches at Waffle House or the late nights of poker (in which you took most of my money). I can truly say that I am a better person just for knowing you. We will never let your memory rest and your family will always be in our hearts. We will meet again someday.

Our hearts are saddened at the loss of another officer. Our prayers are with his family and co-workers, that God would grant them strength to endure what is to come as they adjust to life without Officer Jensen and face the trial of his murderer. May God grant a conviction and swift justice in this case.

Jared & The Entire Jensen Family,

You will be forever missed! Your smiling face, your joking personality will be etched in my mind for eternity. May God Bless You and Your Family! Thank you for Protecting and Serving the City of Colorado Springs with such great honor and pride. You may be gone but you will never be FORGOTTEN! Rest in peace.

"In The Line of Duty"

What is the meaning of "In The Line Of Duty"
It means that an officer made the Ultimate sacrifice.
It means that someone took an officer's life.
A hero has fallen.

Officers who gave their all
To protect and serve
Have been killed by someone whom they swore
To protect and serve.

It means that their badge will no longer be on their chest
And they will join
"The Best Of The Best"

It means that family and friends are left behind
To deal with the lost of a loved one.
Only having the memories of that loved one
Close to their hearts.
Something no one can ever take away.

It means that family members will stand at the officers grave
And wonder why ...
Why would someone take an officer's life
And leave them there to die?
If we only knew.

Today an officer will place their badge on their chest
To fulfill the dreams of heroes killed
"In The Line Of Duty"
