Reflections for Officer Phylicia Carson

Officer Carson gave me and so many others hope in humanity, that these heroes in human service roles can make their impact and live on to share the story. Thanks to Ozark Law her story will continue to impact people across the country, as we fell in love with her compassionate and endearing spirit (and pink handcuffs).

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family for a while. In the short period of time she was on TV my husband and myself fell in love with her spirit and passion for the badge and for the small things. It breaks my heart that something so horrible can happen to such a beautiful person. Rest in peace, you clearly will be missed.

God Bless Officer Carson, her family and the rest of the OBPD. Like many, watching this show out on a television show was horrifying. A courageous young woman gave her life for the community she loved. All too often in these situations the perpetrators get all the coverage but she will truly be the one remembered. All the love in the world to the community that lost one of their own.

I've watched this and I am utterly heartbroken for family and peers. I hope they're getting the full support that they need. Those children will grow to understand what a wonderful woman their mother was and they will carry that through the rest of their lives. I sincerely hope officer reiner is getting help. Please don't ever blame yourself. My heart aches for you all!!

I’m new to the tv series and have enjoyed it tremendously. All the officers included have been exemplary human beings. I reached out to Mark Kordula and he was kind enough to respond to my message. At that point I had no idea about the death of officer Carson. I am shocked and saddened to learn this. Thoughts and prayers to Phylicia’s family, immediate and police. As I said to officer Kordula… The best of the best.

My husband and I loved watching Ozark Law and had come to love all of the reoccurring officers especially Officer Carson. Loved her pink handcuffs, pink pens, pink clipboard and loved the way she interacted with kindness and empathy to everyone she pulled over. The last episode was very heart wrenching to watch. I literally burst into tears and I didn't even know her.

Sending thoughts and many prayers from Independence, Missouri, to Corporal Riner, Carson's fellow officers, her husband and her children.

I was so saddened by the last episode of Ozark Law Officer Carson was such a memorable officer. To share in Officer Reiner’s concern when he could not reach Carson. Heart breaking to watch. Thank you Ozark PD for letting us in to share your lives and service even to the end of watch of one of your own. God Bless you all

As I watched Ozark Law this season, I really appreciated Officer Carson and her kindness and empathy towards the community. Her passion for wanting to help others was incredible. She was my favorite police officer on the show and was hoping to run into her this summer while I was at my lake house. Prayers and peace for her husband and children! Thank you for your service Officer Carson!
