Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Being speedy already adds to those onuses where life and possible death may result. Going from point to point and place to place just means one still must perform at a higher level where one's own humble honesty, dignity and integrity have to rise to the occasion. Dade County was always kept peaceful and safer by yourself, Officer Cook and with a strong heart, sharp mind and heroic soul of expression the assignments could be handled and carried out with noted and tireless courage and conviction, so true and trusted. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
