    Congratulations Officer. Your actions were truly heroic! As bad as it is that one officer, Chief Maloney, was killed in the line of duty, you prevented an even greater tragedy.

    PO Law, you may deny your actions were heroic, and I understand why, however we all agree you were a hero that night. Well deserved.

    Sounds like he did a great job... and very humble too. Kudos to him.

    P.S. Where the heck is Stratham? I've never heard of it.

    Congrats on a job well done...Situations like this should make us all realize how dangerous our job really is...even when we become comfortable in our positions, regardless of where we work, we must always remember that we go work in a profession where we have to expect the unexpected.

    Always safe safe and always look out for one another!!!!!
