Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
In law enforcement gambling on any given circumstance may pay dividends, but hunches are one thing, doing your job right and within the regulations following honor, integrity and dignity down the trails of intuition, ingenuity and intelligence usually has better outcomes. Badge#1664, yours, Officer Cook, was most prominent and heroic beyond any calls of duty to serve and to save Dade County from trouble, harm and strife. As all heroes and heroines stick to a rigid resolve, you stuck to your journeys to energize and uphold truth and trust right until your last breath always faithful, tireless and yearning to learn more. You kept motivating your peers with uncanny diligence and virtue so wise and clear. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

A leader of others is noted and duly expected to excel in commitment, character and such refined conviction. So trusted, loyal and truthful to the citizens of Dade County, Officer Cook, it was such a tragic shame and callousness which took your life away from you, your family and the entire police universe. You were a completely sustainable young man whose bridges of honesty, fortitude and the proper integrity and dignity fought off such adversity that affected the entire landscape of tranquility for the people. And such missions and journeys of sacrifice can never be abandoned. Virtue and boldness held humbleness within your heart and soul now and for eternity being blessed and rewarded as a hero. Heaven holds its flock of supreme beings together to patrol the gates of gallantry as one unit. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A follower listens and watches what is instituted in his or her own heart and soul to be guided and shared with humanity.

Dignity, honor, heroism and truth must never be dimmed, diluted nor tarnished in any way,shape or form. One least bit of change surely impacts mankind and its integrity and character will then be under the greatest of fires.
