The Final Inspection

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

National Police Memorial 2009

Today I attended the National police Memorial Service. It is the first one I have attended and I felt most honoured to be there.

When your life was tragically taken I was a Special Constable, my then partner and brother were serving officers. Today I thought about you and all those fallen officers who honour the word 'hero'.

Your husband did you proud today . . . .

RIP - We will remember you . . . . x

How cruel and sad that in trying to make this world a safer place for us all to live you paid the ultimate price, departing this world in such a cruel and terrible way. May you find eternal peace in heaven. xxxxx

It Makes You Think....

Sharon, i am a police officer with Sussex Police and was doing my training at Ashford the day you were killed. We held one minutes silence, raised the flag and saluted you. I have never had a chill go down my spine like i did that day. It bought home that when we put our uniforms on in the morning and kiss our loved ones goodbye, we don't know what will happen and if they will ever see us again. I hope that members of the public take heed at the danger we put ourselves in to protect them, people we have never even met. You are a true credit to every officer Sharon. Rest in peace PC Beshinivsky.
