- Our Mission
One officer's take on the "Lakewood Police Shootings" on November 29th 2009 and the aftermath of the greif that followed. The poem below is written by Tacoma Police Department Detective, Randi Goetz.
The Thin Blue Line,
~ A Police Officer's CreedJust yesterday you stood so bold
Against the dark, against the cold.
You fought the fight and, truth be told,
Your courage, it did shine.You gave so much, then gave your all.
We wept to see you take the fall.
Yet we remain to take the call,
And walk the thin blue line.We’ll carry on and take a stand,
Protect and serve across the land.
I’ll take a child’s trembling hand
And hold it safe in mine.Forever we’ll remember you,
Our brother, sister, friend in blue.
And we’ll be strong till we see you
Somewhere down the line.- by Detective Randi Goetz, Tacoma P.D.
