“God, I pray that you’ll work in a very, very special way in their lives. I pray that the God of all grace, the God of all mercy, will comfort them in this time as they grieve in the very, very difficult days ahead. In Jesus’ precious name, amen,”

“You and I will go home to our families tonight. These guys that put on the uniform aren’t really sure whether they’ll make it home or not tonight, but they’re still human beings, just like we are… I would encourage them that even six months to a year from now, to still come up and say, ‘I still remember you, I’m still praying for you.’ And that really means a lot to an officer,” – Chaplin Ron Leonard, Law Enforcement Outreach Program ‘Operation Safety 91’
