Sometimes
our
memories
bring
us
pain,
and
so
we
pause
this
evening
to
give
thanks.
We
pause
to
remember,
and
we
pause
to
think
about
the
gifts
of
a
loving
God
to
us
during
this
Christmas
season.
So
I
invite
you
to
join
me,
please
in
prayer.
Let
us
pray
together
be
with
us
loving
God,
as
we
gather
to
give
thanks
for
and
to
remember
those
we
love
who
are
no
longer
walking
with
us.
B
We
remember
with
special
joy,
your
gift
to
us
in
these
loved
ones.
We
are
thankful
for
the
ways
in
which
they
served
you
while
they
were
among
us,
and
we
thank
you
as
well
for
the
gift
they
were
to
their
families
and
friends
in
this
season
of
Christmas.
It
can
be
hard
to
acknowledge
the
sadness
of
going
on
without
those
we
have
loved
so
well.
It
can
be
more
than
difficult
to
rise
to
the
occasion
of
joy
and
merriment
when
so
much
of
our
joy
is
diminished
by
loss.
B
So
tonight
gather
us
to
you
that
we
might
share
our
loss
and
support
one
another
help
us
to
remember
and
honor.
The
sacrifices
made
by
family
and
friends
bless
them
to
your
fatherly
care
and
help
us
all
to
walk
with
them
in
support
and
in
love,
as
we
receive
the
gift
of
the
Christ
child
born
once
again
into
our
world.
Let
it
speak
to
our
needs,
our
pains
our
sorrows
in
ways
that
heal
and
comfort
where
we
offer
our
prayer
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
our
Lord
amen.
C
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
17th
annual
project
blight,
hosted
by
the
students
of
the
law
enforcement
class
of
the
baronet
guyís
d
Career
Center,
my
name
is
Nathaniel
Williams
and
I'm,
a
senior
at
Bay
City,
Central,
High
School.
This
is
my
first
year
in
the
law
enforcement
program
and
in
just
these
few
months
of
class,
we
have
already
learned
various
methods,
techniques
and
issues
facing
police
officers.
C
Today,
taking
this
class
has
given
me
the
opportunity
to
see
the
perspective
of
police
officers,
not
just
how
they
are
depicted
in
the
media
on
the
internet,
no
matter
what
people
say.
The
truth
is
that
police
officers
are
brave
and
courageous
men
and
women.
On
behalf
of
my
fellow
classmates,
we
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
those
that
who
served
to
those
currently
serving
and
that
we
have
the
utmost
respect
for
you
and
the
jobs
you
do.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Katie
lists
and
I'm,
currently
a
senior
at
Essex
bill,
Garber,
High
School
and
in
a
student
in
the
law,
enforcement
and
criminal
justice
program
at
the
Fate
era,
Net
Career
Center,
with
a
lifelong
interest
in
government
in
law
enforcement.
It
is
an
absolute
privilege
to
speak
before
each
and
every
one
of
you
on
this
Honorable
evening.
On
behalf
on
behalf
of
the
aspiring
law-enforcement
student
community,
we
would
like
to
thank
you
and
your
families
for
the
sacrifices
that
you
put
forth
each
day.
D
E
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
anneka.
Bean
I
am
a
senior
at
Santa
sterling
Central,
High,
School
and
I'm
a
second
year
student
at
the
Career
Center
this
year.
I
am
in
the
lung,
Dee
law
enforcement,
and
last
year
I
was
in
forensic
science
program
after
high
school
I
plan
on
attending
Kirtland
Community
College
to
study
criminal
justice.
My
career
goal
is
to
be
corrections
or
probation
officer.
I
have
always
had
respect
for
police
officers
as
my
entire
life,
my
father
has
been
a
policeman,
although
this
is
not
my
personal
experience
of
it.
E
Although
this
is
my
first
year
experiencing
Project
Blue
right
I'm
excited
to
see
that
impact.
This
program
makes
some
people's
lives.
Hopefully,
when
people
leave,
they
have
the
whole
new
respect
for
those
that
work
in
the
law
enforcement
area.
As
the
ceremony
is
about
honoring,
but
bond
heroes
that
sacrifice
their
lives
as
high
school
students,
we're
learning
about
the
challenges
that
we
will
face
as
we
enter
life
as
we
host
this
event.
For
you,
our
hope
is
that
the
small
event
brings
peace
to
all
that
can
make
it
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
E
Our
first
speaker
tonight
is
currently
the
coordinator
of
the
Delta
College
Police
Academy.
He
began
his
career
in
law
enforcement
in
1990,
with
the
Midland
County
Sheriff's
Office,
where
he
was
assigned
to
a
road
patrol
division.
During
the
course
of
his
career
career,
he
was
promoted
to
sergeant
lieutenant
and
finally
retiring
as
captain
after
27
years
of
service.
This
led
to
his
current
position
as
the
coordinator
of
the
Delta
College
Police
Academy,
which
he
has
been
doing
for
the
past
two
years.
Tomorrow.
E
F
My
first
year,
flew
by
I
was
having
fun,
probably
driving
too
fast,
not
waiting
for
bait
back
up
like
I,
should
and
generally
taking
stupid,
calculated
risks.
I
was
24
years
old
and
still
feeling
the
oats
of
my
youth,
believing
that
I
was
immune
to
the
dangers
they
weren't
us
about
in
the
Academy
that
changed
in
April
of
1991.
F
They
say
there
are
certain
events
that
remain
with
you.
Your
entire
life
I
can
remember
where
I
was
when
the
space
shuttle
Challenger
blew
up
in
1986
I.
Remember
where
I
was
when
terrorists
flew
to
Jets
into
the
World
Trade
Center
in
2001
and
I?
Remember
when
officer
Terry,
Jablonski
and
Raymond
reksai
were
killed
in
the
line
of
duty
in
1991
I.
F
Was
working
the
night
shift
and
it
just
come
into
work
to
relieve
the
day
shift.
I
always
look
forward
to
going
to
work,
especially
at
shift
change.
He
was
fun
to
listen
to
the
day's
events,
make
jokes
and
laugh.
However,
when
I
arrived
at
work,
everyone
was
very
quiet.
I
went
into
dispatch
to
find
our
lean
operator
crying.
It
was
then
that
I
learned
about
the
tragic
events
to
our
neighbors
to
the
east
I
have
to
admit
that
I
was
shell-shocked,
to
say
the
least
for
the
longest
time.
F
I
believed
that
these
type
of
incidents
only
happened
in
large
cities
like
Detroit
Los
Angeles
in
New
York.
This
tragic
event
helps
serve
as
a
stark
reminder
that
life
is
precious
and
lives
can
be
changed
in
an
instant
I,
truly
believe
that
matured
10
years
in
that
instant,
it's
funny
funny
as
one's
life
progresses,
how
your
priorities,
change,
I
got
married,
had
children
and
got
promoted.
The
funny
thing
about
promotions
are,
is
that
you
get
one
and
you
instantly
start
working
on
the
next
one
as
with
most
people.
F
This
was
the
theme
of
my
career
for
many
years
as
I
promoted.
I
became
responsible
for
the
safety
of
others
and
all
the
things
I
did
when
I
was
a
patrolman
drove
me
crazy
as
a
supervisor.
My
final
career
goal
for
my
time
in
the
Sheriff's
Office,
opposed
to
retire
without
anyone
being
seriously
injured
in
the
line
of
duty.
I
am
proud
to
say
that
that
goal
was
achieved.
F
The
job
of
a
law
enforcement
officers,
too,
is
a
never-ending
roller
coaster
right.
There
is
no
other
profession
where
you
can
go
from
idly
talking
to
a
neighborhood
group
about
a
parking
problem
to
report
of
a
person
with
a
gun
or
a
car
crash,
and
back
again
the
consonant
known
appeals
to
the
adventurous
spirit
of
us
all,
and
while
the
lure
of
excitement
and
a
career
is
appealing,
it
is
not
the
real
reason
why
people
become
police
officers.
F
Candidates
preparing
to
enter
the
police
academy,
I
spent
the
better
part
of
an
hour
sitting
down
with
them.
Each
potential
recruit
in
an
attempt
to
get
to
know
them
and
evaluate
the
potential
as
a
future
police
officer.
One
of
the
last
questions
I
asked
each
recruit
is:
why
do
you
want
to
work
in
law
enforcement?
I?
F
Believe
it's
a
fair
question.
It
helps
me
gain
some
insight
into
what
motivates
them
and
while
the
answer
varies
from
recruit
to
recruit,
the
message
is
essentially,
as
sane
people
become
police
officers
because
they
want
to
help
people
they
want
to
protect
those
who
cannot
protect
themselves.
They
want
to
feel
that
they
are
part
of
something
bigger
and
finally,
they
want
to
make
a
difference
in
the
communities
they
serve.
F
F
Today's
law
enforcement
officer
must
keep
up
with
ever-changing
laws
and
technology.
The
laws
changed,
protect
the
public
and
technology
technology
is
used
not
only
to
solve
crimes
but
is
used
by
the
criminal
element
to
commit
them.
This
requires
constant
training
to
remain
effective
while
the
fat
well,
the
many
facets
of
law
enforcement
are
ever-changing.
The
one
thing
that
remains
constant
and
unwavering
is
a
sense
of
community
and
the
outpouring
of
support
one
of
our
when
one
of
our
fellow
officers
is
in
need.
This,
in
my
opinion,
is
a
hallmark
of
our
profession.
F
We
all
joke
amongst
ourselves
about
other
agencies
and
make
wild
insinuations
that
our
agency
is
is
better
than
theirs.
But
when
the
chips
are
down,
it
doesn't
matter
what
color
uniform
you
wear.
You
can
count
on
the
fact
that
someone
will
be
there
to
help
you
in
the
course
of
my
career
I've
had
the
unfortunate
opportunity
to
attend
the
funeral
of
law
enforcement
officers
killed
in
the
line
of
duty
I'm
more
than
one
occasion.
The
one
thing
that
I
take
from
these
events
is
the
common
bond.
We
all
share.
F
F
Today,
I
am
joined
by
the
members
of
the
hundred
and
third
Delta
College
Police
Academy
I
have
had
the
honor
and
the
privilege
to
be
their
tour
guide
for
the
past
17
weeks.
While
they
endured
countless
hours
of
training
in
preparation
for
their
future
careers
tomorrow,
they
will
graduate
and
begin
their
journey
of
service
to
community
and
the
protection
of
those
unable
to
protect
themselves
to
the
families
of
the
Fallen
officers.
Here
tonight
you
have
our
sincere
administer
an
admiration
for
the
sacrifice
your
loved
ones
have
made.
F
D
Our
next
speaker
comes
from
a
long
line
of
law
enforcement.
His
great-grandfather,
father,
three
brothers
and
a
brother-in-law
have
all
been
involved
in
law
enforcement.
He
is
currently
a
delta
college,
campus
police
officer,
a
state
of
michigan
certified
firearms
instructor
of
a
low
100
core
instructor
and
a
Delta
College
police
academy
instructor.
He
is
also
a
member
of
the
international
law
enforcement
educators
and
trainers
Association
in
2010,
our
speaker,
retired,
from
the
bay
County
Sheriff's
Office.
As
a
road
patrol
sergeant.
This
was
after
20
years,
28
years
of
service.
D
During
his
career
he
was
an
instructor
in
numerous
areas
for
his
department.
Currently
he
is
the
criminal
justice
training
coordinator
at
Delta
College,
where
he
has
been
since
2010.
He
sets
up
in-service
training
for
law
enforcement
corrections
in
private
security
and
is
also
the
coordinator
for
Delta
colleges,
correctional
Academy.
Would
you
please
help
me
welcome
Tom
Gillman.
G
2458,
this
is
a
number
of
officers
that
have
died
in
the
line
of
duty
since
1791
594.
This
is
a
total
number
of
officers
have
died
in
the
line
of
duty
in
the
state
of
Michigan.
During
that
same
time,
frame
138
the
number
of
officers
have
died
in
the
line
of
duty
throughout
the
United
States.
So
far
this
year,
1.
G
G
We
might
not
have
personally
known
the
officer,
but
we
gather
here
tonight
as
one
family,
the
family
of
law
enforcement,
to
support
the
surviving,
immediate
members
and
express
our
gratitude
for
sharing
your
officers
life
with
us.
You
are
just
as
much
of
a
hero
as
the
officer
themselves.
You
are
the
glue
that
keeps
us
together
when
we
come
home,
broken
from
the
job,
zero,
a
number
that
is
a
dream
of
officers
and
their
families
everywhere.
G
It's
the
number.
That
would
mean
that
every
officer
that
goes
to
work
protecting
their
community
will
come
back
home
every
night,
unfortunately,
just
by
virtue
of
the
job
when
we
are
sent
out
to
the
worst
situations
and
the
worst
environments
to
deal
with
the
worst
people.
Sometimes
the
worst
happens.
As
an
officer,
we
can
forget
that
it's
not
just
us
putting
on
the
uniform
each
day
when
we
go
out
to
protect
our
corner
of
the
world.
G
Our
family
is
right
there
with
us
as
well,
not
so
much
physically,
but
in
our
hearts
and
minds,
and
we
in
theirs
as
officers
we
can
take
for
granted
that
our
family
is
accepting
of
our
lifestyle.
We
have
accepted
the
risk
too,
of
our
calling
and
have
learned
to
be
able
to
navigate
the
hazards
of
a
dysfunctional
world.
We
go
out
into
the
dark
corners
of
society
places
you
would
never
think
of
physically
taking
your
children
or
significant
other
in
a
tough
to
keep
those
dangers
under
control
to
protect
society,
our
friends
and
our
family.
G
I'm,
also
aware
of
the
great
sense
of
pride
and
officer
can
feel
knowing
that
they
made
a
positive
difference
and
another
human
beings
life,
even
if
it's
only
for
a
very
short
period
of
time.
You
might
be
that
one
officer
that
intervened
in
a
domestic
violence
call
and
assisted
the
victim
to
get
out
and
get
that
break.
They
need
to
break
that
cycle
of
abuse.
G
You
might
be
that
one
officer
that
shows
up
to
check
for
a
prowler
in
the
middle
of
the
night
easing
the
worry
of
an
elderly
widow
who
can't
protect
herself
or
you
could
be
that
office,
so
that
runs
toward
the
gunfire
when
every
other
human
being
is
running
the
opposite
direction
and
the
common
sense
voice
in
your
head
is
saying:
follow
them.
You
had
there
to
save
people,
you've
never
met
and
you'll
probably
never
have
a
chance
to
encounter
them
again.
You
have
that
willingness
to
put
yourself
in
harm's
way
for
the
safety
of
others.
G
Greater
love
has
no
one
than
this
than
to
lay
down
their
life.
For
a
friend,
the
saying
is
the
reason
law
enforcement
is
both
respected
and
despised.
You
are
loved
and
respected
by
those
who
truly
appreciate
your
willingness
to
sacrifice
your
life,
not
just
for
a
friend
but
for
a
total
stranger
in
your
despise
by
the
criminals
and
the
people
who
lack
the
intestinal
fortitude.
Who
would
never
say
it
never
step
up
to
save
another
person,
yet
they're,
quick
to
criticize
your
actions.
G
Even
though
it's
a
calling
not
all
skills
come
naturally
in
this
profession
to
protect
ourselves
and
our
families,
we
need
to
train
on
a
regular
basis,
including,
but
definitely
not
limited
to
defensive
tactics.
Firearm
skills,
updated
knowledge
of
laws,
communication
skills
and
everyone's
favorite
report
writing.
G
It
has
been
a
great
honor
and
privilege
to
be
in
a
law-enforcement
instructor
of
numerous
disciplines
over
the
approximately
32
years
of
that
36
years
of
my
career
training
in
law
enforcement
in
service
law
enforcement
officers
and
police
academy
recruits
for
the
last
six
years.
My
main
focus
has
been
training
the
blade,
the
below
100
program
and
training
officers
to
become
instructors
for
that
below
100
program,
traveling
to
six
different
states
and
training
over
two
thousand
officers.

Personally,
this
national
initiative
is
working
to
bring
the
death
toll
of
police
officers
to
below
100,
which
is
a
number
that
this
country
has
not
seen
since
1943.
The
program
focuses
on
five
things
that
are
under
our
control
wearing
your
belt.
Wearing
your
vest,
watching
your
speed,
think
about
when
WI
n
for
what's
important
now
in
the
fighting
complacency.

Video
from
onboard
cameras
and
testimonies
from
surviving
officers,
as
well
as
the
testimonies
of
surviving
family
members,
drive
home
the
idea
that
in
many
cases
we
have
some
control
and
can
minimize
our
risk
of
being
up
becoming
a
statistic.
This
program
has
made
cultural
changes
in
our
profession,
focusing
on
a
culture
of
safety.
G
This
culture
of
safety
needs
to
occur
for
our
future
generations
of
law
enforcement,
so
we
owe
it
to
ourselves
our
families
in
these
future
generations
to
the
being
the
most
knowledgeable
professionals
that
we
can
and
help
support
the
future
generations
of
law
enforcement.
A
couple
excellent
examples
of
future
generations
are
here
with
you
tonight:
Delta
colleges,
police
academy,
that
is
coordinated
by
mr.
Mike
Goodall
and
then
the
criminal
justice
students
from
the
Bay
Area
neck
ISD,
Career
Center,
instructed
by
mr.
Todd
Adkins.

We
would
now
like
to
show
our
appreciation
to
those
that
are
still
serving
our
communities
each
and
every
day,
as
we
call
your
department.
Would
one
representative
please
come
forward
to
accept
the
wreaths.
Please
proceed
towards
Caleb
and
he
will
direct
you
where
to
stand.
Please
remain
up
front
until
all
departments
have
been
called
Delta
College
Department
of
Public
Safety.
