Women Peace Officers' Association of California

One who never hesitates to tackle the most difficult problems.
One who is always by your side.
One who knows right from wrong.
One who acts with pride.
A HERO touches every one of us,
whether it be word or deed...
Always tending to those who find themselves in need.
When a HERO leaves this earth, yes, it sad but true,
All too many times, the HERO is dressed in blue.

Posthumously Dedicated with Eternal Gratitude
To Those Who Have Fallen While Serving Beneath The Badge.

By Eric W. DeRengis and initially written in memory of Philadelphia Officer Robert Hayes. Reprint from COPS newsletter Winter Spring 1996.
