This little corner of Salem the Soldier's outpost is dedicated to The Christian Law Enforcement Community.  From every American law enforcement agency, big or small, in existence.... (No, I'm not in Law Enforcement. This is a non-sworn authored site.) Why This Site. |
The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to generate increased public support for the law enforcement profession by permanently recording and appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers; and to provide information that will help promote law enforcement safety.

4 Lakewood (WA) Officers Murdered: Why God?
"...The four officers have been identified as Sergeant Mark Renninger, Ronald Owens, Tina Griswold, and Greg Richards. Their ages range from 37 to 42. They leave behind multiple children, spouses, parents, siblings and a community and country in mourning. It was the fourth multiple officer fatality by gunfire this year alone and the second ambush in the Seattle area in the last 30 days. ... It is unimaginable tragedy and it is in this tragedy that one may ask where was God? ... Why did it have to happen? ... Why does God permit suffering and tragedy? 
Open if...
"...The task I enjoy least as a command officer is the death notification. I've been the harbinger of this dark, terrible news to parents and spouses enough times I know how to deliver the blow: with the appropriate level of empathy, but clearly and directly. One doesn't obfuscate in situations like this. ... It gets worse. There is nothing more wrenching in this realm than driving a marked car with a chaplain at your side, pulling up in front of a police officer's house, taking a catatonic wife by the hand and driving her to the trauma unit where her husband lay critically injured and clinging precariously to life." [Sgt. Jeff Baker]
Faith-Based Policing
"...In the final analysis, the role of peacemaker is more than zero tolerance enforcement, fire teams, vehicle pursuits, and kicking ass, so I challenge you to search within yourself to identify those opportunities to be more than a rigid, protocol-driven uniform in your dealings with the public. Please pray for our vocation, and that all law enforcement professionals throughout the world be emboldened to know, love and honor God." [Sgt. Jeff Baker]
"Tribute to an ordinary street cop."
...I never met him, and before the funeral service, I never heard of Randal "Randy" Simmons. But, in watching his eulogy, I had a real sense of loss. I felt what the LA community felt. If someone who never knew him can feel the loss for a man they never met, I can imagine the sense of loss felt by the citizens of Los Angeles. Particularly in a day when cops everywhere are increasingly branded with images of gestopism. While Randy Simmons has been gleefully welcomed home in Heaven, he will be sadly missed by those who knew and cared for him on Earth. [Jon Christian Ryter]
"Police Chief rips San Francisco press and Judge."
Now THIS is how the Administration of a national Police Department should be responding publicly to the unwarranted and biased attacks on the men and women of law enforcement as they are unjustly attacked for their service in our streets! This is great! In relation to fallen Police Officer Nick-Tomasito Birco, San Francisco Police Department - California - End of Watch: Wednesday, July 26, 2006.
"Jim R. Schwiesow -- Sheriffs Need to Take The Lead"
"It has come to my attention that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has set up a militia to help deal with the increasing crime problems in his jurisdiction wrought by an ever increasing flood of illegal aliens. Sheriff Arpaio ought to be commended for his on going efforts in behalf of the law-abiding citizens of Maricopa County. Maybe in Arizona this will be the case, and he will receive the support of the local politicians and that of those whom he has sworn to protect. But the chances are much more likely that if he has not already undergone an all out serious assault on his character and integrity by a cadre of political hacks, jealous professional rivals and bleeding hearts he most probably will. To be successful and effective is to invite censure and reproach from political cretins and apostate associates. Let me tell you how I know this."
"Law Enforcement Ministry - A New Paradigm"
"The wheel that has represented the philosophy of law enforcement ministry, for the last thirty years, looks something like this. The center or hub of the wheel represents the individual law enforcement ministry or fellowship. The spokes of the wheel represent members of the organization and/or chapters. The outer rim of the wheel represents the law enforcement community. "
"A biblical wheel design is this. Jesus Christ is the center or hub of the wheel. The spokes of the wheel represent law enforcement ministries or fellowships. The outer rim of the wheel represents the law enforcement community." [10-4 Ministries]
"Doctrines of the Chaplaincy
Ecumenism, Pluralism & Pragmatism"
"As a law enforcement chaplain and reserve deputy sheriff, I serve and work with men and women who are cut from many different spiritual cloths. I likewise serve and work with men and women who profess no faith in God whatsoever. I have not, nor will I ever, turn away one of my brothers or sisters behind the badge in their emotional, physical, or spiritual time of need because they may not share my faith in Christ. "Back-up" is only a call away no matter who they are or what they believe. I love my law enforcement family. "[10-4 Ministries]
"However, I love Jesus Christ more. I cannot, in good conscience, provide my brothers and sisters behind the badge with band-aids for mortal wounds. It is because of my love for Jesus Christ and my love for my fellow officers (cf. Mark 12:28-31) that I must proclaim the gospel to those who are bound for hell apart from His saving grace. "
"Standing Up for the LAPD"
"If local police don't receive the community's support in such circumstances the whole enterprise of law enforcement and public safety in that community is a lost cause, due not to police misconduct, but rather to the public's inexcusable failure to rightly assign moral culpability...."
"IDENTITY THIEVES LOOKING FOR INTERNET SUCKERS"
This article is by friend and mentor, Jon Christian Ryter. I strongly suggest you read it if you have not been a victim of identity theft--yet. I have, and can vouch personally for Jon's observations and conclusions. This article mirrors in content one letter I sent in regard to my personal scenario to my Congressman, the FTC, the Credit Reporting Agencies, the Ca. State Attn. General's office, and local media groups.
For those of you in law enforcement and working the electronic crimes divisions of your respective agencies, draw your own conclusions as to who is responsible for the absurdity of this situation. The FBI has said, "Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in America." That is so because the environment is conducive to this crime. If these financial institutions were held liable for the costs and damages of their reckless lending practices, you would see a lot of this dry up real quick!
"Take Up The Shield" A Book Review
"From time to time, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Chaplain Tony Miano tells the famously funny "dog bite" story friends and supporters of 10-4 Ministries are familiar with. It is one of a few in this Deputy's life that reveals the heart of this down to earth and amicable Police Chaplain as he traverses the hazardous road of a Christian in law enforcement. As director of 10-4 Ministries, Chaplain Tony has now crafted another outstanding spiritual resource to add to the war bag of the Christian community in the field."
"Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs"
"...But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed."
Busting the Myth of "Racist Killer Cops"
"...The public believes this myth because liberal journalists - most of whom are inveterate cop-haters circulate it. Yet the reality about who is shot by cops is very different than is reported by the civil libertarians and their mainstream media puppets."
"They Finally Got It!"
Deputy Chief Rick Concepcion of the Winthrop Harbor Police Department, Winthrop Harbor, IL., details the experience of attending a Memorial Service for two fallen officers with a neighboring agency. This is not the typical community response cop's receive when honoring their fallen warriors. Good for them! Hopefully the start of a good trend.
"VALOR"
"No, they were modeling something much more; the Lord clearly exhibiting something much more substantial and important. Character traits of the human spiritual experience that are in rare representation these days. I believe the Lord was dramatizing: Valor...."
"Interview
With The Bogeyman"
The former Chaplain of the Second Amendment PD and Attorney
Jess B. Guy (BATF Ret.) sit down for a heart to heart on gun ownership, the
Second Amendment and U.S. Constitution, and all things law
enforcement.
"Ride
Along"
"Deputy Perry hits the switch for our own lights, then
digs the spurs in. We roar down the street and in seconds are on Gibsons
six. The two RSO units pull in tandem onto the dirt shoulder behind the yielding
gray
mini-truck...."

Code Of The Warrior"
Come spend some time in the presence of a few great men....
Addressing the future of professional law enforcement with a small contingent

"A
Biblical Response To Gun Control"
The text of a gun ownership/control debate that took place
on the email list of a very well respected Conservative/Christian law enforcement
organization. An overseas officer challenges the American Christian
LE and civilian community on the Second Amendment!
"NYPD
New Jacks, Gave A Perp 41 Whacks."
A pointed, graphic, no nonsense commentary by a qualified
cop, Ranger Mike, on the Amadou Diallo shooting by the NYPD. This isn't for
the faint of heart or timid!
"Jesus,
Paul And The 'Feds'"
Some personal observations concerning how the early Church
Founders operated while dealing with the Imperial Roman authorities, the "Federal" LE community of that time, and
the comparisons to our own times.
"The
Guardian"
Who protects the protectors, the cops on the streets?
" ...Your loved one is also protected by another Guardian, an invisible
individual who boasts the membership within an unseen society of warriors.
And as a warrior, he knows his weapons.... "
Cops,
Christians, And The "Badge"
Parallels between the sworn Police officer in society
and the Born Again Christian in the spiritual realm.
Police
Accountability, "Civilian Review Boards,"
And Metaphors For The Church.
Is a secular organization qualified to police or deal with
Christian philosophy based fringe groups and cults? Or is this an area
exclusively the responsibility of the Church itself; an area the leadership
of the Church has been lacking in? Let's draw some parallels off of a recent
"civilian review boards" document crafted by a qualified Christian Police
Officer.
Hate
Groups, 'Racism,' And The Riverside PD
Is there a problem with "racism" in professional law enforcement?
Or is it a much wider social problem, inherent to the fallen heart of man,
that only the Church and the Bible has the ability and resources to
handle?
The Beanfield
When the pressure's on and the enemy is closing in,
then just keep on fighting!
The
Alley
He stood motionless at the edge of the building and
observed the street for about five minutes, looking up and down to see
if anyone had heard the glass breaking and if they were investigating. I
was.
God
Bless the Cops
"From my position, I then saw what seemed like
a half dozen officers pile in the front
door...."

COP.
Hey,
Are You A Dummy?
Some basic rules to follow and the right way to handle yourself
around the Police. It seems more and more people have forgotten how to do
that.
The Law Enforcement
Ministry
It is with regret and necessity, that I must announce the ending of our Law Enforcement Ministry. After three years of the ministry, our attendance is not what we had hoped for and interest has been waning. Speakers have been increasingly hard to find what with their committed schedules, etc, and this is
understandable. I truly know the words of our Lord as "when two or three are gathered together in my name,
there I am in the midst of them". It was just felt that it is time to move on to other endeavors. It is
also said that when one door closes, another one opens, and it is my prayer that the Lord will show us in the ministry, this door.
