Another widow and orphaned child must mourn the loss of a hero. I’ve lived too long and seen too many such deaths at the hands of those people who have lost the right to live among us. Punishment for such actions must be so severe and so swift that the mere thought of the consequence is enough to put fear in the hearts of killers. They must forfeit their right to exist. We have become a terribly weakened society because we find every excuse not to punish.

I truly regret the fact that I never got to shake Officer Labonte's hand and Thank Him for accepting the call to stand between us and the danger that lurks among us. This line these Officers walk is very thin. In these coming days, his Wife, Child, Fellow Officers, Family, and Friends are going to have our Prayers for comfort from God. I am beyond heartbroken over this tragedy. Mrs. Labonte, God Bless you and may you know that even though we are not in your place, we feel this deep within every department in this nation and beyond. Lord we need You now.

Mrs. Labonte, I'm so sorry for this loss. My son is about to retire after 30 years from Virginia Beach PD, as his Dad also retired from a different city. I know your fear and will keep you and your son in my prayers. God loves you and will hold you close. Blessings to you and your family.

I m so devastated by this. I didn’t know Jeremy well but had the extraordinarily honor of spending five hours with him on the road for a ride along on 8/30/2023 for the Roswell Police Civilian Police Academy. It was one of the finest nights I’ve ever had. I strongly considered looking into whether I could join his ranks because of the experience.
The next day,I sent the following email
to our contact for the academy:
Good afternoon *****,
I just wanted to drop a short note to say that my ride-along shift last night with Jeremy Labonte was incredible. He couldn't have been more professional, gracious, and impressive in the execution of his duties. He took the time to explain numerous facets of how policing traffic techniques, communications, and technology work all while balancing his own workload. It was truly an honor I will not forget to sit along and see this very complex work and, although I'm sure your team and command staff already know it, he is a real credit to your agency.
Gratefully,
Will

Officer Labonte, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 3 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Roswell Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!
