Reflections for Master Trooper Junius Alvin Walker
This man died a hero's death, returning fire from inside his cruiser after being ambushed. What an inspiration to the rest of us who patrol the back roads. God grant the peace that passes understanding to his family and his VSP family. Rest in peace Master Trooper, you earned it. We'll take it from here.

Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael
Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.
Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgement.
Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.
You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.
And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God, as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.
R.I.P.
Ours prayers are with your family

Safe In His Arms, Now and Forever
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Words cannot express the sadness I felt once I heard about Junius tragic and senseless death. I worked with him while he was stationed in NOVA many years ago. I pray the love of God enfolds his family during their journey through grief. May Gods words provide a comfort to his family during this time of great sorrow.
REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER!!

Arriving on scene, suspect began too scream
I'm not going to jail tonight....not without a fight
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do
Our badge is battered, the uniform is tattered
We give all we have to keep you safe this night
Battle was hard fought we didn't give a second thought

We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do.
