End of Watch Monday, January 20, 2025.



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

On behalf of my entire organization, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Agent Maland's family, friends and BP brothers and sisters. Although I didn't know David, I have worked closely with several BP Agents in my almost 29 years in law enforcement in Vermont and know that anyone representing CBP is of the highest caliber and no doubt, David was of the same. We, along with all Vermont LEOs, mourn this tragic event and pray that he is at peace with his God.

The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty.

Heavenly Father, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Border Patrol Agent David C. Maland, of the United States Border Patrol, was suddenly and violently taken from us; Shot & Killed in the Line-of-Duty in Vermont at the Canadian Border. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the cross. I ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, and by His authority. Amen.

God's Mission for America's Peace Officers:

"For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose." (Romans 13: 3-4 TLB)

God's Word of Support, Comfort, and Hope:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
(Matthew 5:9 CSB);

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking: Who will I send? Who will go for us? I said: Here I am. Send me. (Isaiah 6:8 CSB);

"Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and staff - they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4 CSB), and;

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." (Matthew 5:4 CSB).
