| In Memoriam to and Special Recognition of Peace Officers around the World | |
| What started out to be a (one) page entitled "A
Couple of Cop Poems" in 1997, has turned into the internet's largest Police
Poems site called "PolicePoems.com"
Further, you can now use a search engine to
find just the right poem! Special thanks to the Authors of the poetry and prose on this site. Their talents are a compilation of "very real & meaningful poems." Some will bring to memory those who made the "Ultimate Sacrifice" for us, some will bring you to tears, some will keep you safe on the front lines, but ALL will touch the inner depths of your heart. |
IF you are a family member, a partner, a loved one, or friend, then I pray that the right poem(s) will help to bring some relief and closure to the ever continuing loss that you are going through. It is a "void" that never can be filled. For additional support you may wish to go to "Your Closest Back-Up" IF you are a member of the General Public, then I pray that these poems will bring a greater understanding of just who it is that we are, what it is that we do and a proper respect of those who "Protect & Serve." |
| Thanks also for the many letters from those who have been touched deeply through this site - YOU are the reason and inspiration! |

GENERALLY - I need at least the "REQUIRED" items below completed. Submissions should be Police Poems about all kinds of Law Enforcement. I may accept some poems that are a little more "broader" IF they of the type that lift up, give support, help in the time of hurt and can be easily understood to be doing just that.

While not ALL information is NOT "Required" it does help me to present your work in the most appropriately way, with the feeling and effect you desire. Items that are not required may be left up to my discretion.
TIME - Working full-time now for the U.S. Marshal Service (CSO), maintaining a Motor Vehicle Collision Reconstruction business, amongst other life that I am FULL-filling may require a bit of time to get your poem up, but it WILL be done! There are times when I get behind, so bear with me Brothers and Sisters.
What I'll do is put the
name of the poem in the index above along with a "Coming" notation and a

E-Mail Address? - be sure to give me an address I can reply to. IF you have AOL or a similar Internet Provider, be sure to set your preferences for me to be able to e-mail you back! I've had a few where I got rejected from replying.
