Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Police work requires accentuation and perpetual heart and soul that are clearly characterized by honesty, dignity and integrity. Their cores must not be broken for if they became tangled our very liberty and safety would be called into question and the citizens would surely feel uneasy. Your performance, Officer Cook, made certain that Dade County would be preserved and protected by an unselfish man of God devout, loyal and faithful to the challenges that lied ahead. The paths and trails were trying but with heart and soul, virtue and being wise beyond your years of professional expertise the tasks and assignments would be handled with the most care, concern and consideration that Our Lord's humility brings. The day of destiny comes calling and obviously no public servant wants to be called home before their time. You had so much more to achieve, the Man above had other more important eternal duties for you. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
