I am so sorry for the great loss that this community is grieving. I, very recently (just in June), was blessed by Det. Baker. I was in the courtroom as the victim of an abuse case. As I sat there, while listening to my abuser "apologize" and accept his plea, I couldn't stop the tears or the trembling from within. Det. Baker was there in the courtroom that day, I'm not sure why, but I was so glad he was. His kind eyes were able to see that I needed help, needed to escape, and he swiftly came and led me to calm. He is the kind of officer that all should strive to be. I am forever grateful and will hold him to dear to my heart, I only wish I could have done more to thank him then.
