Police Officer's Prayer

“Lord I ask for courage

Courage to face and

conquer my own fears.

Courage to take me

Where others will not go.

I ask for strength

Strength of body to

protect others.

And strength of spirit

to lead others.

I ask for dedication

Dedication to my job,

to do it well.

Dedication to my community

to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern

for all those who

trust me.

And compassion for

those who need me.

And please, Lord,

through it all,

be at my side.”

B. J. Hoff

Dedicated May 15, 1986
